I have a buddy here in the states. He's about 40-50 miles from me. Both of us on base stations. He was using am RM Italy amp with about 100 watts. I could barely hear him. He got one of these Lincoln 2's and was talking to me barefoot at 30 watts and sounded clearer and louder than when running 100 watts. I was really amazed. I would like to pick one of these up to add to my collection.
Hi Jimmy i cant explain why your friend on 100w, was not good, unless his rm was dead. I like the Lincoln2+ a lot, the looks clarity of Audio and its stable. DO let us all know how you get on with yours.
Hi Stewart it's good u enjoyed it. I can't fault them , although some would like the ability to program the 40 uk fm channels. No big deal to me as I much prefer SSB.
@@CBRadiouk1 I've got the original Lincoln 2 which initially had loads of problems. Mine was sent back to President in France and they sorted it out. I've got a video showing the hidden engineering menu on my RU-vid
@@delboyonline I had the lincoln 2 as well, usb receive was rubbish. I was not happy and gave it away in a Comp. (it was also new) Its great that you got your one sorted.
Sorry Steve to confuse you I saw your video of the Lincoln ii + you were talking about the muppets channel and said that you can go up a few channels and I wondered if it went down a little too?
Hi David the lincoln2+ can get all the muppet channels bud. They can't be programmed in like on the 6900, but u can ad some to memory. And then go up or down 10kc to go up or down a channel.
Hello Steve. I’ve a mk2 v3. Had reports of muffled audio on stock mic. Took foam insert out of mic and now ok. I don’t like the stock mic though. I’ve plenty of old school mics I use for other radios. Do you know of a replacement mic that works well on these radios. I know it’s six pin electret and caution with the wiring.
Hello, my radio transmits fine on AM and FM, however when I switch to SSB I press the PTT, I get “TX” on the display but it doesn’t transmit. It transmits as I am releasing the PTT. I factory reset the radio, however the issue persists.
Hola , ud pudo solucionar ese detalle , al parecer a mi radio que es de igual modelo , le pasa lo mismo...si pudo ,seria posible comentar como resultó el arreglo , gracias
This video prompted me to bust my old CRE8900 Out of its box.. And test the output etc.. The rig has decent TX Performance. However compared to a President George, President Jackson Mk1 . Deaf as a post.. Now I have decent test equipment . I will try to re-align the receive on this rig.. I have recently bought brand new Galaxy rigs from the US. A DX -2547 Home base and a DX- 979F .From the factory the alignment was a joke shop.. Consumer be aware out of the box these transceivers are appalling...
Hi Nifty result you may be interested again, the old kit is still very good (in my book) Keep me posted regarding getting the rig sorted , and if your area is still active.
@@CBRadiouk1 I am a British expat been living in Thailand since 2007. 11m ia alive and kicking here. And a lot of those stations also use 27.305 CB Chat channel on Zello that Fred set up. Cheers 73s 153AT888/ HS0ZOU.
Hi Steve ive got the Lincoln 2 plus very pleased with it not used it yet as can only go mobile i want to swr in a sirio 4000 what channels should i use mid block channels 1-20-40 to swr in for 27 mhz?
hI Simon it depends on where you plan to use it really. I mainly use the eu block, so i tune the Antenna for that band. Some tune on ch 20 and then check on 1 and 40. Myself i check 1 and 40 IF ITS OK AS MOST Sirio Antennas are i already know that ch 20 will be ok.
Hi Thomas simple answer is I do not know. RF can do strange things, that said I have never had damage to my car. In the past using radio in my car, the doors would lock while transmitting.
Hi good day sir I don't have a power meter and a friend gave me a old school hooker linear and it needs no more than 2 watts to drive could you show about where my rd gain should be not to savvy in this field 73s from 416 Trinidad
Hi Alvin I cannot really help with the info you gave me. I have no idea what radio you have??? I presume there was a typo there, I presume you meant to say rf gain?? If that is what you are referring to, the rf gain has no bearing on power. Tell me me more fella
@@CBRadiouk1 hi steve the radio I'm using is the president Lincoln 2 plus and a friend gave me a hooker 100 bilinear which he told me was a low drive amp nothing more than 3 watts and I don't want to blow anything what position should the rf gain be I have it set at about eight o'clock thanks for the help 73s.
Hi Simon change the frequency to 27.781.2. You cant get the 5 at the end, no big deal. I believe you then press and hold the memory button. Give it a go and let me know how you get on. Just press the memory button again to go back to where you was.
