• What is ASC on President radios?

  ASC stands for Automatic Squelch Control. It is a worldwide patent exclusive to President Electronics that suppresses undesirable background noises when there is no communication, eliminating the need for repetitive manual squelch adjustments.

• How do I adjust the SWR on my CB radio?

  SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) must be adjusted using an internal or external SWR meter before transmitting. Connect the meter between the radio and antenna, set to 'FWD' to calibrate while transmitting key is pressed, then switch to 'REF' to read the value. Ideally, the reading should be close to 1.

• Where can I register my President product for warranty?

  You can register your product online at the official President Electronics US website under the 'Warranty Registration' section. Registration helps ensure service coverage and support.

• What type of microphone connector do President radios use?

  Most modern President CB radios use a 6-pin microphone plug. Older models may use a 4-pin or 5-pin configuration. Check your specific model's manual for compatibility.

• Why does my radio need a 12V or 24V power supply?

  Many President radios are designed to operate on either 12V or 24V DC power automatically, making them suitable for both cars and heavy trucks. Always verify the voltage specifications in your owner's manual before connecting power.
