Subject: President McKinley expanded power question Sat Dec 10, 2022 9:45 pm
Hi, I decided it was time to upgrade my Uniden CB radio I bought in 1984 and have just purchased a President McKinley. I’m considering ‘expanding’ it and have read that it increases the power on all the modes. Sorry if it’s a daft question but after it’s expanded, I’m told you hold the F key to put it back in UK mode, once it’s back in UK mode does the power revert back to the normal 4 watts FM etc or is the power increased for the UK mode as well. Thanks in advance….. Craig

It changes the frequencies to UKFM but the power is still going to be 27 watts.
