Compact Size. Commanding Presence. Meet the President Harrison FCC CB Radio

Thoughtfully engineered for today’s drivers who expect more from their gear, the President Harrison FCC is a feature-packed communication hub that proves great things do come in small packages. Designed for drivers, outdoor enthusiasts, and professionals alike, this mid-price range compact AM/FM CB transceiver delivers modern digital convenience, crystal-clear communication, and unwavering reliability.

Whether navigating long-haul highways, rugged backcountry trails, or coordinating wide-load convoys, the Harrison keeps your voice clear, steady, and in command.

Why the Harrison Stands Out

Compact Yet Capable

Spanning just 4.92 inches in width, the Harrison may be small, but it packs a suite of features usually found in larger CB radios. Its rotary channel selector lets you switch channels quickly and intuitively, while the large, multicolor LCD ensures your settings are always easy to read, even in bright daylight. Every control is thoughtfully laid out, so you can focus on the road, trail, or convoy without distractions.

 Smart Scanning & Channel Shortcuts

The built-in Scan and Scan Skip functions let you monitor activity across the airwaves without stopping on channels you never use. Plus, two programmable priority channels mean your go-to frequencies are always one click away – perfect for emergency channels, weather updates or convoy/group communications.

 Automatic SWR Meter

The integrated Automatic SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) Meter lets you verify antenna tuning instantly no external meters needed. Maintaining proper SWR maximizes transmission efficiency and safeguards your radio, critical for professionals like truckers and pilot cars operating in fringe coverage areas.

CTCSS/DCS Tone Control

The Harrison’s CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) allow you to filter out unwanted chatter, static, and distant “skip” signals from users sharing the same channel. Instead of constant noise – especially during long shifts your radio stays silent until someone in your group transmits using the matching tone or code.

This keeps communication focused and controlled, making it ideal for off-road groups, construction crews, transport fleets, farm or ranch teams, and emergency operations working on crowded channels.

Keep in Mind:
• Shared Code Required: All radios in your group must use the same tone or code to communicate.
• Not Private: CTCSS/DCS does not encrypt transmissions. Anyone monitoring the channel without a tone can still hear your voice.

 Noise Filters & Clear Audio

The President Harrison is equipped with advanced noise management tools – ANL (Automatic Noise Limiter), NB (Noise Blanker), HI-CUT filters, Noise Gate, and NRC (Noise Reduction Circuit) designed to reduce interference from engines, electrical systems, and signal reflections. The result is clearer, more intelligible audio in demanding environments where static would otherwise garble critical messages, from diesel trucks and heavy agricultural equipment to off-road vehicles and everyday highway driving.

 Dual Power

The Harrison supports both 12 V and 24 V electrical systems, providing a single radio platform compatible across multiple vehicle types and industries. From pickups and semis to heavy commercial rigs and agricultural machinery, it integrates seamlessly without the need for voltage converters or additional equipment.

Hands-Free, Public Address (PA) & Extra Tools

Built-in VOX (voice-activated transmit) provides true hands-free operation – a major advantage when keeping your focus on the road. Public Address (PA) mode and Roger Beep add flexibility and professional polish to every transmission.

Beyond AM/FM communication, the Harrison also includes NOAA weather channels with alerts to keep you informed of changing conditions, a front USB Port for convenient device charging, and additional integrated tools. Together, these features make the Harrison a versatile mobile communication and information hub a standout choice in the mid-price range CB radio market.
