I was looking on STW site today and he has one of these new premium grants now, he said it looks like a totally different board. Wonder if uniden are making them now. Also mention of a murata, take it these are parts maybe filtering or something, it actually has that written on the box.

Could it be they have cracked it this time lol. Could this be the first new radio I have bought in years, lets wait and see as thats what I will be doing lol.

They have to get it right this time, they will never recover if this one is shiiiiite, we dont want another version 2 mark 99 lol. Lets see what reports comes back. Looking inside the shielding does not look as in as good as intensive as the anyclones. Cant wait to see some reports on these
Daz you saying wonder if Uniden are making them now have ever seen these ,these are sold in the States for quite a while
http://www.cbradio.nl/uniden/uniden_880.htm http://www.cbradio.nl/uniden/uniden_980.htm

what do they remined you of ;)









by the way my personal feeling this and quite a few others feel the same way what STW says goes in one ear and out the other with what he comes out with but thats just a personal thing

Life is too short, so ave a laugh now n then never know you might like it

Yeah Ive seen them unidens, them ones are actually made by uniden but for some reason they didnt make the grant.

Ive heard nothing but good reports about them unidens. I was watching them for a long time to see if anyone cracked them, opened them up for other frequencies but no one did. The software is really tight on them.

Im hoping these new grants will be as good as them although I now have 3 cobra 148s lol

I just want to buy one really top notch brand new cb, these grants always looked good to me BUT have been a big disappointment upto now.

Lets wait and see, look at some proper reviews maybe with a radio tech such as TRXbench check this review out by him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLSfzJCCl8M

All old Uniden based radios are the bees dodahs mate, most of the new radios seem to be all from the same Chinese clone factory TBH , I think some of the new Presidents are made by Uniden but there just the normal Multi Euro AM/FM (none SSB ones) I know of the President Multi Euro AM/FM (none SSB ones) thats made by Uniden, I got one a President Teddy and for what that is, its a blinding little radio striate out of the box new .........also selling one in the For sale section if anyone's interested ;) ;) also a nice Jackson Mk1 proper old Uniden Radio :thumb:

On the plus side it will make the Anytone radios even more appealing!

Maybe Del , but really which one is the better radio, be honest one is alegerly is a genuine Uniden made radio the other :shrug: somewhere in China , I would think they should make them the same price as a new Anyclone to compete with them

Comparing the prices on the Swedish website against UK prices on other radios they appear to be pretty much the same so I would hope that the UK price would actually be around the £220 mark but I guess we will have to wait and see.....!

Well to be absolutely honest if I were looking for an EXPORT radio and I had the choice of an Anytone priced @ £150 or a Grant 2 priced @ £150 I would definitely go for the Anytone!

I have said all along that the Grant 2 does not make a very good export radio.

However if I was looking for a LEGAL SSB radio I would have to go for the Grant 2 as choice in this category is very limited.

they would make a lot more money if they sold the grants cheaper, i know when i got back into the hobby i looked at a grant but they was just to expensive at the time compared to the anyclones. im sure if they was cheaper a lot more people would choose one as a 1st radio.

Is the Grant 2 premium still legal though?

I thought it had access to illegal channels and higher than standard output power without being modified internally.


Not that it would ever bother me either way.

It's legal out of the box.

You need to mod it to get extra power/channels

Apparently so!

That was one of the gripes on the earlier version. When you did the mod you lost the UK40 and had to put a switch on the back of the radio to switch between modded and unmodded.

it's the same as the original Grant 2 in that it's the cut the wire and move a jumper mod to put it in export mode.

To get the UK channels you just use the mode button as you would on a later Grant 2 set to the UK legal channels.

Just had a phonecall and my poorly Grant 2 is on its way back from France. Apparently President have put a brand new main board in the radio!

Must be cheaper than actually replacing any of the components!
