History
The President 711 was produced during the late 1970s to early 1980s, when CB radio usage was widespread. President Electronics offered a wide range of models during this time, from simple entry-level radios to more advanced SSB-equipped units.
The 711 fits into the lower to mid-range of that lineup, providing standard CB functionality without advanced features. Like many President radios of the era, it was likely manufactured through OEM partnerships, commonly associated with Uniden.
