FM (FREQUENCY MODULATION)

with ctcss / dcs

FM offers improved sound quality with less background noise, which is optimum for communication within groups.

CTCSS and DCS codes can be used to create user groups. This function can only be used in FM mode.

The CTCSS/DCS function can also be used to set up repeater access with some models. When used with repeaters, these codes and tones can act as an "access key" to allow communication by radio operators who have permission to use the repeater system.

ASC (AUTOMATIC SQUELCH CONTROL)

The ASC "Automatic Squelch Control" is a squelch setting device that constantly monitors the received signal and automatically adjusts it to block the background noise. CB users used to do this manually, which was impractical and even dangerous when done while driving. Thanks to the President's ASC invention, CB users no longer have to make manual squelch adjustments, or check the noise level. The patented ASC technology does this for you.

Automatic SWR

Provides a continuous audible tone to assist in finding the optimal location of your antenna to obtain the best possible SWR reading. This can be a substantial time saver during antenna installs and is also an easy-to-use tool for drivers to check the SWR on their rigs as needed.

Weather channelS / Alerts

Allows reception of NOAA weather channels and setting of an Alert. With bad weather like tornadoes, floods or whatever weather might be around the corner, the CB weather features are an important part of the safety toolkit.

with SCAN / SCAN SKIP

Scans all 40 channels for activity.

Scan Skip excludes selected channels from the scan.

The Scan function may also scan the memorized and priority channels. This is only available on certain models.

Both of these features allow users to focus their scanning activity on select channels.

Noise Reduction Circuit (NRC)

Vehicles can have high degree of background noise which carry through into the transmission of CB signals. NRC allows users to reduce the noise levels in both Tx and Rx modes. If the CB radio itself does not have inbuilt NRC, a President Digimike with NRC can be used.

12 / 24V operation

Allows connection to either 12V or 24V power sources. In heavy machinery where 24V is common using a radio with seamless 24V capability results in a reduction in cost of the CB equipment and the associated install and service charges.

SSB (Single Side Band)

A refinement of amplitude modulation (AM) that's more efficient with bandwidth and transmitter power allowing long-distance communication with other SSB users.

Public Address (PA)

Allows CB radio to serve as a public address while connected to external speaker systems. The PA can be used to broadcast both, reception from the CB or tailored messages generated by the CB user.

Dual watch

Allows the monitoring of two channels simultaneously giving users more flexibility, e.g. keeping track of communication on a group channel and another channel like 19 to monitor highway info.

VOX

The VOX function allows handsfree use of the CB radio. With VOX enabled, you can transmit by speaking into the original microphone (or in the optional vox microphone) without pressing the PTT switch.

P Channels

P Channels are pre-configured memory Channels set by President. There are 5 such channels labeled P1, P2, P3, P4, P5. They use the FM mode, the frequency of an existing CB channel and a fixed CTCSS/DCS code allowing targeted communications with other users.
