Thank you for your time! Trying to decide what to buy for a mobile 10 meter This video has made me feel much more comfortable with my wish to own one. I owned the original Lincoln for about 12 years . Made contacts all over the world , however as many know the processers do go out. I paid the money to have it repaired. Glad I did. sold it when I bought a Kenwood TS 2000. when I first saw the adds for the Lincoln 2 I just had to look into it. The dual finals combined with a clear signal is a plus when on ten meters. Don't like the "Loud and Proud " radios that bleed all over the bands and set of touch lamps & car alarms. So again Thank you for your detailed description!

[@weeniewawa]

I had a 2510 long ago and it was a bear in cold weather too, I would never turn it off. it would take sometimes up to 6 hours to come on. it actually stayed powered on for over 10 years at one point.

[@KlodFather]

My 2510 never had problems in the cold... It always worked good in my truck. Only thing I could think of is that it took about 3 min for the display to darken up. That is a function of the LCD liquid. I think in later models they bought the displays from someone else. What happened to yours in the cold?

[@MrBillCNW]

Nice Radio, Thank You for the information

[@Fred196407]

I had a president HR2510 some years ago. Wish I still had it. Though one of these does seem tempting. It's good to see how things have changed over the years. Thanks!

was there any cb radios that have a remote control head like my FT-7800? What would happen if you tried do SSTV on CB?

[@Angelo965]

Hi do you have any info on the president 2 aligment points location. My transmit meter seems to not work correct. When I key the Mic with audio on full power the meter does not show full scale.

[@viewtubed4577]

Can you share if the modification for frequency unlock changes the fine tune of this radio? It appears some are a bit unstable when "opened". Thank you...

[@JoeR203]

Are the only differences between this and the II+ the fact that the II+ is 10 & 12 meter and to convert to 11m, no wire to cut. Just install a 1k resistor? Once the white wire is cut on the Lincoln II, which band will the cb channels be on?

[@DannyWalker1949]

Maybe you can help me on the Version 3 models, Can a guy still open up the Frequency on these radios?

[@leethompson6070]

Just curious what you consider "Cold weather" in F degrees. Freezing, 0, -10, -30 are ALL things I've experienced in travels. Even at times we've seen cold enough here in the Midwest that some guy from England didn't even have a calculation availability on his stuff to register a low of -21 F that we were experiencing here at the time. That was in '13 though and that may not have been the Reg. in other countries too though. Thanx.

you are the best thanks

Fantastic review as always clear to the point..are you going to be reviewing the any tone 5555 or cry ss7800 please thanks Shane uk

[@rdsii64]

I just purchased this radio. Shipping should have it here in a week or so. Does this radio have talk back so you can hear your echo adjustments and that sort of thing. Also, is there any of the newer radios that have reverb control as well.

[@robbit4butterfly]

Thank You very much for the tour throuch the device's features. Only one thing is not clear to me: it says "Roger beep's delay" - is this the setting for the time after release the TX button the roger beep sets in or is it the roger beep's length or duration? The latter makes "delay" sh misleading.

[@ComputerLearning0]

You need better illumination when showing the rear panel and the inside circuit board. *VERY* dark. That said, I bought the 'plus' version of this radio in Dec 2017 and I have to say I am IMPRESSED. The audio this radio produces is absolutely superb. I've already made contacts on 10 & 12 meters and people couldn't believe the audio was so good on a radio of this type. The microphone looks a bit cheap but has it where it counts. I absolutely love using this radio!

Once you clip the white wire, and open up all the channels, whats the best antenna to use. I will be putting this radio in a typical pickup truck. (2006 F150)

[@MartinWillett]

[@dunmate]

Question Does anyone have this radio and if so have you notice it getting hot on the left side. Mine gets very warm when running am are fm. Just wondering if it was made this way are could there be something wrong?

[@billmeng2435]

I just got mine fri its been on since I got it i transmitted a few hrs warm not hot

[@888rogermoore]

Got the mk2 v3. Run it at 2-5 watts into an amp and yes it gets quite warm on the left side.

[@gmcjetpilot]

So these CB radios are really 10-meter ham radios that still transmit on 11-meter and have more RF power than legally is allowed out the box on 11-meter (10AM/30SSB)? Please explain.

[@paganphil100]

gmcjetpilot: Correct.

[@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire]

It's not illegal to own or listen on the radio, it's only illegal if: (1) you transmit in a higher power setting on CB *or* (2) you transmit on the ham bands and you do not have the appropriate ham license... Of course, if it is a *true emergency*, all those regulations can be ignored...

[@VicGreenBitcoin]

RF power always on max!

[@rdsii64]

looking for a god VOX mic for my president lincoln II V3. I love this radio. I just can't find a VOX mic for it

[@rowdyraider556]

I think I want one

[@sndrdwnklr]

where is the diode exactly ? liked your video

[@thekingsilverado9004]

I am only assuming here since everyone is glossing over the fact the radio states it is a CB and has channel 19 & 9 so will it work on the standard 11 meter band or what the hell??? I plan on ordering this radio and using it as a CB part time and exploring HAM something I've never had before. The HAM radios have come down in price over the years so I would like to buy this radio I am getting older and I think this thing if I can use it as CB would be a blast to use it. BUT DOES IT WORK ON REGULAR CITIZENS BAND... I WANT TO USE IT WITH MY HYGRADE TWIN TRUCKERS ON MY TRUCK.

[@EdmondCharrette]

This has 30w max output? I need a radio to run a davemade 16 pill what would you recommend?

[@madmax2069]

usually they use a driver amp to drive those bigger boxes.

[@EdmondCharrette]

+madmax2069 Thanks. I want a radio that does a solid 100w so I dont need a driver box. I am looking at the galaxy 94hp and the Icom 718 would work too although I don't know how well the ham radio will do on AM.

[@KlodFather]

@@EdmondCharrette - Those ham radios are a little strange on AM compared to a CB. They are actually double sideband with an injected carrier. The power control on them actually controls the amount of carrier they put out. I am a ham and a CB'er and also an electronics engineer who did a lot of tech work on radios back in the day for CB. Some examples of DSB injected carrier radios are HR2510 and its related family as well as the Yaesu mobile HF rigs and my Icom 706 mark2. The solid state mobile ham rigs with AM will make a 50 to 60 watt carrier which will get you about 70% of the power of that amp but the audio a ham radio can wield is tremendous because the carrier is injected but the audio can be as big as you set it. Its kind of like a modulator kit. If I was running one of those big CB amps I would feed it about 25 watts carrier but I would be thumping it with 90 watts of audio. It would bark set up like that. It would sound authoritative and different than a CB but it would punch through carriers because it is mostly modulation set up like that. The emission type is double sideband suppressed carrier (which can imply a reduced carrier for AM compatibility) It works well.

[@NunYa953]

Can someone give me some info? So it's set up for 10 and 12 out of the box right? Adding a resistor will access a menu to turn on 11 meter? Does this mean it can be used for 10, 11, and 12 meter then?

[@NunYa953]

@@billmeng2435 I know I need a license to transmit on 10 and 12 meter. My question is this: if I just want to listen to those bands will I need 2 different antennas with some sort of switch that would allow me to transmit on 11 meter bands, but for anything on 10 or 12 meter I'll need a different antenna?

[@michaelbradley8508]

Nice radio and video. At about the 16:40 minute mark you mention the white wire has been cut allowing the radio frequency to be 'opened up'. What does 'opened up' mean?

[@paganphil100]

Michael Bradley: It will give you access to many more frequencies.

[@joeramirez8557]

Philip Fletcher new to the radio world, so we would be able to use channel 19 to talk to other regular cb radio?

[@billmeng2435]

Lol dont cut wires you need to add a resistor not cut anything

[@SergeantExtreme]

@@billmeng2435 To be fair, that's the newest version of the radio. Back in the day, for the "old versions", cutting the white wire was exactly what you did.

[@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire]

I bought one recently. I have my FCC General Amateur license, so I figured that I could have access to 10m and 12m at full power and then turn it to lower power for 11m... So far, I have not been impressed with the unit or the company... They completely ignore emails sent to their tech support email address and no one answered the phone when I tried to call them... The SO-239 (UHF) connector on the back is mounted so that even if you tighten the antenna connector as tight as you can, it will still wobble and not get good connection, so the SO-239 connector is too short... My unit will not display the SWR and I have yet to hear anything other than static on any of the bands...

+dale myers this version of the Lincoln looks like it leans way towards the free band/CB export users.

Wow how much further can that thing fall. I inherited my Dad's MRF455 equipped President Lincoln and this new President Lincolln II looks like a turd compared to it. It looks cheaply made and frail. I do not get it. You would think they would have made a 10,12,6 meter rig that would fit in a din sized dash opening with easy to use buttons that do not have dual functions. I do not think the power output matters in a mobile application since external amplification is always an option. What I do think is missing is ease of use. If you can not work it as easily as an AM/FM/CD player in a car while driving then it has failed for mobile use. Save all the dual function stuff for the base unit or use bluetooth to any smart phone to allow for extra features that one would not use while driving down the road.
