President Lincoln MK1......An Iconic Radio

[@pa5287]

brings back good memorys

[@mikewalsh511]

I just got one of these on Ebay. I owned both the 2510 and the 2600 as a teenager but never had a 2830 or Lincoln. Excited to revisit the nostalgia.

[@charlieoscar09]

That Lincoln sounds superb...The sensitivity and selectivity even with stations without any signal showing is first class.Thanks for the clip.I like the paragraph write up Dave i didn't know the radios History but do now.Cheers

[@m0ogy]

No problem I wanted a Uniden 2830 when they came out in 1988 but as a 20 year old I didn't have £350 spare, I was more into motorbikes back then and only on a third of the asking price a week!

[@charlieoscar09]

Ha Ha better than my £28.50p with £2.50 income tax to pay...Still seemed to go out to Disco's lots though ? How ?

[@stephenhanson4513]

a great set dave thanks for the video

[@m0ogy]

Thanks Stephen

[@f1sls]

He makes you repeat 3 times your callsign and gives you a 5-9 report... 😅

[@ChrisTheHulk]

A classic radio for sure Dave. One I wouldn't mine owning :) 73s

[@TheRetroShed]

Fabulous radio. I’ve just managed to get hold of an absolute mint one - not a mark on it and looks like it’s never been used. All boxed with everything still in the plastic bags etc. I will be taking very good care of it! So much better than the new Lincoln IMO. :)

[@26tm9999]

Great radio, never owned one myself but as you say hard to beat. Keep em coming mate 73s from Daryn

[@m0ogy]

Thanks Daryn

[@ojamaflip1]

great little radio had mine 20 years and pretty much worked the world on it mine puts out over 60 whatt and has done so for all those years with no problems at all. will have to upload a vid so everyone can see it doing this some time

[@richardcronshaw1963]

HI What is the normal output of these rigs,60 WATTS?

[@japautosalon]

Love this radio Dave a great icon and one i always have in the shack.

[@thestig8133]

I remember having one of these AWESOME!!! radios Sadly it got STOLEN via my X amongst many, many other items of personal value. & yes to this day i absolutely DESPISE her & her family for it. & will NEVER , EVER forgive her for it. & since then i haven't been able to afford a replacement as the price for these AWESOME!!! radios has gone through the roof price wise. Last i saw one it was far too far away to get it & it was priced at over £280 or equivalant in other currancies. 😥😥😥😥😥 So, i haven't sadly replace it & it's 12amp power unit antenna coax etc, etc which would end up costing me far too much so, sadly i have had to stop searching for one & say i will never get another full set up again as costs is far too much out of reach. 😥😥😥😥

[@joeletecatkoss6261]

I've still got my uniden 2830, plus president lincoln

[@forzacfc]

Thanks for the reviews Dave, I've enjoyed them all, please keep them coming.Personally got myself a hi power version (455) from France recently dated June 2002 model fully boxed all matching and original numbers and accessories a 9/10 on the condition .On the strength of one of your recent reviews, I just purchased the V2 President Grant ASC but not the Premium as I want to run fitted into dash on my Truck as well as aligned with RM500 24v, so didn't want the radio pushing uprated wattage plus the addition of the rear heat sink, so technically speaking I've not purchased the best version to date - and now with newer firmware for complete expansion plus no loss of UK channels - but thanks to you earlier reviews got the version that was best for my pending set up; Like I said keep em coming on all aspects.Cheers Mark 26CT228

[@freememuk666]

All time classic radio will never sell mine .another quality vid looking forward to seeing more.Feel sorry for the poor sods that have got the new lincoln not a patch on the original.get the best get the original

[@m0ogy]

Well done on owning one of these classics. Thanks for the kind comments

[@TheRetroShed]

I’ve recently got hold of both and the MK1 is a joy to use compared to the Mk2. No comparison.

[@delboyonline]

Doesn't that just put the new Lincoln 2 to shame! Much better audio from that old radio Dave!

[@m0ogy]

One of these was always going to be an hard act to follow!

[@delboyonline]

Very true Dave!

[@hogawitcha1970]

It sounds like it's slightly off frequency.

[@the11metersd.x.channel.55]

The early nineties Lincolns , Jacksons , and Georges were the bollocks.. However they where not a budget radio... The SS3900 was the budget option at the time... I went for the flag ship George. With the benefit of hindsight. The Lincoln was a way better DX Radio...

[@sam.simmons9949]

please give your call at least 2 times...........your 5/9 lol nice vid Dave of a classic radio...shame the new radios dont sound this good

[@m0ogy]

You're 5/9 again again.........LOL. It makes a mockery of the RST report

[@reborn_online]

This is really great timing! My beloved President Madison passed away this week, having been pulled out of the attic last summer after a couple of decades in storage. So I was on the hunt for a new rig. After the (ahem) mixed feedback on the Lincoln II, there was only one rig for me. Uniden 2830 on it's way to me as we speak! God bless eBay! 73s, Griff. 26FB3476

[@reborn_online]

My Uniden 2830 has arrived, got it plugged into the Gain Master and I'm chuffed to bits with it! The receive is even better than my Madison, it's pulling stations in from all over Europe and the skip isn't even particularly high. Great combo. Thanks for the vids Dave, was a big help in making my recent purchases.

[@W-733_KWX]

Hope you did not dump your Madison. Just needed to have the elkos replaced. These were built to last, replacing caps will bring 'em to life for sure...

[@joemerchant6941]

Plz can you Tell me... I believe ive a problem with the FM discriminator My FM rx seems very hashy like OFF frequency BUT NOT

[@koenraaddroeck129]

for me the best ever

[@ciaranmcmanus333]

How can I become a licence operator in the UK just so I can talk on 10 metre band

[@battlestarone]

why oh why do they no make these anymore,i am sure if someone picked up the licence to make them they would be onto a winner

[@the11metersd.x.channel.55]

Not made with this quality anymore.. Even the Mk1 Jackson puts a lot of newer 10 meter exports to shame..On the RX side..

[@th3st1g55]

I had my Lincoln & a lot of the other radio equipment was stolen some time ago & have not had it replaced. This due to the last time I was on the airwaves along with the Muppet bands & got so much GRIEF!!! Even when I tried using the sidebands I was tormented there. I don't know why I was but, I was thinking of going back on but, still not sure if I really want to. More thinking about it. I have a scanner to receive 27mhz but, I hear absolutely NOTHING on it I hear some Hams at times but, Muppet channels ( just to see if anything or anyone is about on them) seems to be total silence. So, I don't bother with it much now.

[@andyward7272]

You need to update the video to mention there are 4 versions of this popular set

[@m0ogy]

I've had a lot happen since 2014, I'm sure many know that fact, I'll maybe do another Lincoln video one day........thanks for your input

[@andyward7272]

@@m0ogy i originally had all the information documented way back but lost interest in radio and sadly got rid of all the paperwork with al the details

[@walter_46-p7l]
