President Washington AM/FM/SSB/CW Mobile Transceiver 70W PEP

The President Washington is President's flagship mobile transceiver — a tour de force of French engineering that delivers 70W PEP on AM/SSB and 50W on FM across both the 10-metre amateur band (28.000–29.700 MHz) and the 12-metre band (24.890–24.990 MHz). With four operating modes including CW, VFO mode, CTCSS/DCS, NRC, NB/ANL/Hi-Cut filters, SSB Clarifier, ECHO, PA function, a front USB charging port (5V/2.1A), and SWR/power metering, the Washington is the definitive choice for serious operators who demand the very best in mobile HF performance. Made in France.
