Hi, I am Colin, I live in Shropshire and have returned to the air over the last couple of months. My last decent rig was a Rotel 240 in the 80's. I have got a President McKinley and a SS9900 in my 2 vehicles with a Sirio 4000 and 5000 antennas, and I am looking to set up a rig in the house for winter as we live on a decent hill.
I appreciate there is a delay, but could I request a call sign when you can please?

Hello Colin, welcome to the forum.
A nice couple of setups there in the vehicles! How are you finding the Mckinley?

Thank you for the welcomes.
Gary, I have only had the McKinley for a couple of weeks and so far I like it. The worst thing about it for me is the frequency numbers are very small, and I do struggle to see it. Other then that I am very happy with it.

Hi Colin, when it first came out I didn't really like the look of it but over time it's grown on me. I did say to myself no more new C.B radios but I have a bit of a thing for President as a brand. lols.
I know what you mean about frequency displays on modern radios mate, my eyes aren't what they used to be!
