A brand new take on a classic radio, the classic looks of the 80's version with completely new up to date internal circuit board.  Offering the best of both.

This new model is a legal multistandard CB, operating on all the legal European bands.  Simply select the country you want to use it in, and the radio will set itself to the legal frequencies & modes for that county.

In the UK it will work on the original UK 27/81 channels (on FM only) and on the EU bands in all modes (AM, FM, USB, LSB) with legal power outputs of 4W on AM/FM and 12W on SSB.

In addition to the "normal" controls on the radio there are also other features selected through a menu system - such as Noise Reduction Circuit (5 levels), VOX (9 levels),  SWR protection, Voltage protection and mic selection (electret or dynamic).

The radio can also be expanded to cover all the bands that the original SS3900 covered - 6 bands from Super-Super-Low to Super-High (25.615-28.305MHz, with higher output power of 12W AM/FM and 25W SSB).

We can even supply the radio with an added "expansion" switch on the back, so that you can easily switch it from standard (UK + EU legal) bands to expanded (for full coverage outside the UK) - this is just an extra £15.

This radio is designed to work "out of the box" with all features selectable in the menus, and although initially there was software available for the first batch, these later models do not support the software.

New upgraded version with improved RX filtering & larger heatsink

A new multimode (AM/FM/SSB) multistandard radio for use in all EU countries. Simply select your country and the radio will automatically operate on the legal bands for your country.

In the UK the radio will operate on all 80 legal FM channels, and will also operate on the new SSB channels when they are hopefully made legal later this year.

The radio works on AM, FM, USB and LSB in countries where all these modes are permitted.

A fully featured compact multimode radio with the usual President quality.

The radio is expandable for use outside the EU.

We can supply the radio either standard or expanded for no extra charge. This new version still allows you direct access to the UK 40 channels once the radio is expanded, which you lost on the standard version - so there is no need to have a switch fitted.

Although both the front and the features are identical to the standard Grant II, this radio uses a completely new circuit board which includes improved filtering and the option for higher output power (hence the larger heatsink on the rear).
