Lincoln 2 Plus Audio Mods & Testing For Joe SSB CB Radio

[@Joe_HamRadioGuy]

Looks better than it did. Thank you for all your hard work. Love the channel man keep up the great work and keep radio alive. ✌🏼

[@stonefacedgrasshopper2200]

Another resident's President, massaged by Master Matt!! Not lookin' for megawatts, running rampant and smokin' hot. Just tweakin' a few pots, smoothin' it all out, hittin' the desired spots. No ragin' radios, bleatin' like sheep. Just a sweet soundin' radio. Talk away, till time to sleep. Music to my old ears, anyway. 👍 😑🦗

[@jgstevens5169]

Thank you, the magic that happens at "The Radio Garage". Guess I'll not pick up a Lincoln II+, after hearing so many other owners not happy with the receive audio. But then, I could find a used one and send it in to have it improved.

[@TheRadioGarage]

Decisions, decisions oh my!! 😅

[@randyguay7115]

My lincoln out of the box sounded ,muddy for a lack of any better words. Sent it in , got back with a note indicating it was as it should be . Any sold it took a hit .

[@frankrobinson4453]

Clean and excellent sounding

[@hazmathauler4536]

Another job well done my friend! Looking forward to seeing more videos…when you get time 😉😄.

[@TheRadioGarage]

[@rodlink6258]

The 2 you did for me aren't affected with these issues. And again, thanks for your continued great work

[@TheRadioGarage]

Hey Rod ,nice to hear from ya..take care 73

[@390WagonMaster]

Hats off to you RG. You did the best for what you had to work with / on. Cheers

[@TheRadioGarage]

Appreciate it..they do have some really good tx audio and features. Same goes for the Richard. The rx is what it is. Some love it some don't. 73 👋🇺🇲

[@aaronson2540]

Well Done Brother......👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@wesoblander3648]

That one sounds quite nice, Matt. I'm thinking my President McKinley could use your magic touch :)

[@JD-526]

Another great video

[@Texas12valve]

This radio has recently caught my eye. Thinking it would be a good base station radio.

[@TheRadioGarage]

Well it just might be 👍

[@mred3660]

That came out rather well opening up the receiver should help it a lot as it seems President has been leaving the receive a little thin on all of there new radios

[@TheRadioGarage]

Agreed..I'm not a huge fan of the rx on the digital style newer radios.

[@sky-mariepelletier4993]

what is that round thing you got under the lincoln ll in the front and where did you get it ?

[@journeyon1983]

What do you have for an antenna? Just curious.

[@AndrewHCann]

Well Done Matt :)

[@TheRadioGarage]

Thanks Andrew

[@eddyg7236]

Whats the best way to get in touch with you? Would love to have a president richard aligned, tuned, converted, and molded by you.

[@Joe_HamRadioGuy]

Go to his web page and email him.

[@TheRadioGarage]

I actually just did a Richard special edition with wideband audio that came out awesome. Didn't get to do video yet. Yes email is best.

[@mred3660]

@@TheRadioGarage I would like to see that Richard video when you get time to load it up

[@Troy707]

Do you know what the difference is between the Lincoln II and the II+ ?

[@worldradio456uk5]

Sounding good there Matt. I know exactly what the owner of the Lincoln is saying about the Rx audio. I had one myself and couldn't stand it . It sounded metallic and not what I am used to . All the ones I've seen here sound much better with RF gain at 1 o clock so makes me wonder if there's something going on with the AGC or something ? Take care my friend 73s

[@TheRadioGarage]

Thanks for sharing..your input is always welcome 👍

[@YoYo_818]

I run a stock Lincoln II Plus and I live in Connecticut as well. Maybe you could work some magic on mine?

[@TheRadioGarage]

Sure..when I'm accepting mail-ins again 👍

I've had one of these for about 3 years now.I bought a brand new. Yes on receive, just like others have outside of this particular KZbin.Video opposlightly gobbled.Receive audio on side band even not a strong signal no noise blanker on. On my mind, it is intermittent and I've taught to other people who said they had the same problem.That's kind of weird when it's Intermittent. I don't know what the stock I.F passband side bend receive is on this radio I would still like to know what your mod was. Also , another common problem of these in high have nut seen it address, On receive with the volume all the way down in a very quiet location.Like maybe a bedroom.There's a constant hiss out of the speaker. My hearing is still pretty good for my age.I could never have this radio inside the house.

[@The411]

Are these mods documented anywhere? I'm up in Canada and would like to improve my rig's audio.

[@TheRadioGarage]

If I remember i can post the caps to change out

[@The411]

@@TheRadioGarage That would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

[@chrispierce2942]

Do you do the 11m conversion?

[@johnnybodangus2529]

Might have to send you my Lincoln 🤔. Could you put a topgun in one also?

[@TheRadioGarage]

I have done it, but not worth the effort

[@johnnybodangus2529]

[@tangomike1306]

maybe a dumb question, but how ist the Lincoln connected to the Oszi? canyou please make a video about this ? or explain it in two words. THX

Coax cable, there I did it ,two words

I have that radio. And when you expose it to COLD. And press to talk. The channel will change along with the frequency. As if you are pressing the top button on the mic.

[@tc2425]

We have the President Lincoln 2+ in the mobile using a small Icom speaker and this is just the way this rig sounds ...reminds me of aviation rigs...so its described a clean clear sharp and avoid of any bass ...this is not a Stricker or a Galaxy 73

[@beekeeper8474]

I wish I had a local teacher. Everyone here wants a million for things they pulled out of the chicken coop

[@alainkeirs8964]

Je trouve que l'audio réception USB très mauvais, et le souci quand on appuie sur le micro ça change de canal problème de masse sûrement.🤔

[@bradleywilkerson8497]

I would like to purchase a raido from you

[@extreme978]

I wish you would show the work being done on the inside, as well as the test. You could make a lot of money off a huge you tube channel. Kinda like what Mike used to do before he vanished off the face of the earth... Those with large youtube channels make 100k a year or more.

[@hectorltorresramirez8199]

My Lincoln sound good with external speaker

[@DanielOrtegoUSA]

I agree with the radio owner in that the sound is ‘unique’ and in my view, not pleasant.

[@N5LRZ]

The customer expected a high end stereo from a small CB radio????

[@TheRadioGarage]

I think he is just trying to get the most out of it.

[@Odair-g1j]

The receiver mixes QRM with audio, if you press the mic button to scan the frequencys the receiver does not change frequency as long as you hold it pressed, the paint is so delicate you can scratch it with your finger nail, the heat sink has no compound behind it, if you use FM the radio will be blazing hot and the heat sink stays cold, bad news for your finals, the audio chip is CRAP. President radios don't care.
