IN EXPANDED MODE
In expanded mode you get access to more frequencies
(from 24.715 - 30.105 MHz) plus some new features.
This covers bands from A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L

A big advantage in the UK is that when expanded you do not lose the 40 UK channels - all you need to do is make sure you are on FM and then press the F key for three seconds and the radio will switch to the UK 40. Just press F again or the mode switch and you will be back in expanded mode.

The radio also covers all the "Alpha" channels when in expanded mode, and a "alpha" display appear on the display to show you are on one.

In expanded mode the channel selector becomes VFO mode
In expanded mode you can also "rename" the bands. Usually they are just a,b,c, ... but you can rename them to any two letters/numbers (eg) call a band EU, LO, HI ect).
The band's go in the usual President odd sequence where A is "mid" (EU), B is "HI, C is "low" ect.

In expanded mode the power also increases to approximately 12W/AM, 25W/FM and 25W SSB. the power is variable through the menus, and on test I found you could adjust the output down to a minimum 4W on Am, 6W on FM and 2W on SSB.

The SPAN function in the menu allows you to select the tuning steps.
in standard mode the steps are 10khz (one channel) and a hundred khz in (ten channels).
In expanded mode the steps are 01, 1,10, 100 and a 1000 khz steps.

OTHER FEATURES
You can select seven different colours for the display, you can also adjust the brightness "dimmer" and "contrast" in the menu.

There is a digital SWR meter built in, which as well as showing the SWR in digital form also has a calibration "tone" that varies depending on the SWR.
so if you have a low SWR at 1.0 the tone will be continuous, the higher the SWR the more the tone will break into beeps and the pitch will change to warn you of a high SWR.

Here are the other 2 video's that I have done, with regards to the President McKinley:
