Glad I found this video. I was about to return the radio because I thought it could only do 40 EU channels and the UK channels were missing because I'd been sent the wrong model. Just set it to "U" and it now works as exptected. I didn't want to wide-band it because this particular radio will be used by a new user who won't necessary know when they are in or out of the legal bands.

I am glad you found it useful. I haven't wide banded mine as I have other radios that are wide banded so I have kept the McKinley as a legal radio

@@lambrettadave7 Thank you very much for the quick answer. The EU model is the one sold on Amazon? Or do all Mckinleys have the option to expand the frequencies with the method you sent me in the link? Excuse me the English, I'm using the google translator.

All eu models are expandable. Other McKinley model is the USA version which isn't expandable so try to avoid it the USA version clearly states that it is the USA version with a badge on the front saying USA

Is talkback loud enough on this radio?
@lambrettadave7 Жыл бұрын
In honest truth TalkBack is not something I use. But from what I have seen I would say that it's okay it may sound a bit louder through a extension speaker

Great video do you have to do a mod to change to diff bands or just hold down the button ?

Horrible reveiver in these radios. Drive a man crazy no thanks give me old school radios that actually have some filters in them.
@lambrettadave7 3 жыл бұрын
The band's in the video are all legal so are accessible from the f button. However to get a wide band coverage you need to snip a white hoop wire inside the radio
