President Lincoln II Plus Ham Radio, Rotary Switch, Up/Down Channel Selector, VFO Mode, RF Power, S-meter, Multi-functions LCD Display, 6 Memories, Vox Function, Beep Function, AM/FM/LSB/USB/CW Modes

All I can say is its not only nice looking but works great.

Works for 10m and can easily be modified for 11m No issues with this rig

I wanted the Lincoln 2 after seeing it for the first time, was either the Lincoln or the grant 2 i still have my HR2510 which due to scarce availability of parts and finals, i hardly run it much anymore i fire her up every now n then to keep the caps from drying out have always used higher end radios, and the so called 10 meter exports which tend to drift terribly on ssb, have the same cold solder joints or the same cracking of boards constantly as every other model offered with the ept3XXX series boards ranger, connex, galaxy or some backyard or hack c.b tech has golden screwdrivered it to death yanking out mod limiters, massive wattage tune ups, added a worthless swing kit or some new found so called tweak that i have had to go and either remove or fix and realign the tx or rx section or in most cases both, anyway president knocked the ball out of the park with this one, once you figure out what everything in the menu does, and how to move the steps for the vfo she is every simple to operate i like the fact you can change the beeps tone i have it set at 2480Khz close to NASAS quindar outro tone which is 2475Khz so its not too annoying on fm use with a distant station ,echo adjustment isnt as straightforward as it could be is nice to add just a bit for noisy situations to help cut though the qrm, ssb audio reports are crisp and super clean .f.m is crisp with no clipping, AM is a little low which is not a big deal, but its clean, the high cut filter is super nice to get rid of higher pitch static sounds just like my magnum 257 has ,nice to be able to set echo when needed with the talkback then go in to menu and shut it off,unlike my galaxies never been too fond of the asc circuit even with the uniden c.b radios as it can be a bit too strong at times for weaker stations to break the squelch range, all in all it isnt a yaesu, kenwood or icom but she has the potential to make good contacts, with good audio reports on ssb and fm and am with the right antenna setup either as a base or a mobile very happy with this radio every report gas been great with this radio not sure why others have issues

I bought this radio as an incentive to get back on the air after a 20 year hiatus. I had a HR2600 packed away all that time but it does not work any more so decided to replace it with this one. I am not into all of this programming stuff but I am glad that at least it has conventional volume,squelch RF output power, mic gain and RF gain. I am sure there are many that would buy this radio due to the easy conversion to CB but I would not recommend that as it is illegal to operate on CB and also voids the warantee. RF output is as stated in the specs when connected to a dummy load and also to my 35 year old Collinear Ground Plane antenna. There is a rotary control to use as a vfo and also up down buttons on the mic to change frequency. The noise blanker is effective. The internal speaker is effective in an relatively quiet area and there is provision for a plug in external speaker if desired. I got good reports on the transmit audio and the receive sensitivity is very good as well. For the most part the comprehensive instruction manual is rather straight forward but I am still trying to figure out how to set up the PL tone and offset for FM repeater operation. I used this radio for field day 2020 operating as a 1D station and for the most part if I could hear em I could work em with this radio. Of course band conditions will dictate what kind of results you will get. I would not suggest buying this radio for use on Citizen Band ( CB ) . If you want to be on CB buy a type accepted CB radio ( for a lot less money ) and be legal about it.

Full mod, makes one heck of a cb radio! And keeps all the ham bands as well! This is the radio to buy.

best value with ssb ,decent power rating all around great radio for all mode 10 meter operation

Excellent Radio for the price works great!!!

I attached power to the radio and the fuse blew in my power supply as well as the inline fuse in the red power cord. Using a VOM I determined that pins 1 and 3 of the power connector on the back panel are shorted inside the radio. It didnt even work for a second. DOA

Ham radio

Thanks!
