President Lincoln II + 10 and 12 metres mobile review 

I have the same radio I purchased it new Canada 5 years ago - and it was already 11m capable. I'm a Trucker that drives up to 20,000 km / month. Over the last 30 years I have used several different radios. This has been the best of all. Be aware that your 2A fuse that runs your typical Cobra will not last 10 seconds. This radio requires a 6A fuse and you need to also up the CB fuse at your fusebox which is likely 3A to 6A. If you run it off a 12V battery you are bypassing the trucks fuse panel you are good with the 6A inline fuse the radio comes with. Lots of truckers get their radios modified for more power, channels , Roger beep, echo etc. This radio - in Canada has all of that and much more right out of the box. No modification is necessary.

Pascal, same here. This radio brings us back in the days.

I had the President HR2510 as well one of the best radios I ever had. Mine was altered for 10 as well as 11 meters but no 12. I am glad to have another President.

Thank you sir ijust bought a lincon ii plus and your tips on progreming was a great help, 73 from jack in INDINA

You have done an excellent job demonstrating the President Lincoln II+. Thank you for sharing. I have decided to get one of these radios and set it up as a base station. Maybe later on I will go mobile. 73's!

Nice review! I just went and checked on my old President Jackson. It hasnt been on well, probably over a quarter of a century now. It still has the slide rack that I had in my CJ-7 Jeeps so probably early 90s at the latest. I think I will fire it up soon after I get a Lincoln II and hopefully my General license. For now, WRJQ238 (GMRS)

I still have the original President Lincoln! It’s still awesome!

I had a twenty five ten and it was a great radio. I see all you guy's reviewing these radio makes me want one. I just don't know if my mate would let me get one

thank you for showing how the manual VFO operates. no other review of these type of radios shows this and i think it's so important, especially for hams

I had one, a UNIDEN 2510, and loved it. If I remember right, it was only 25W SSB, 12.2W AM.

I have this radio and have had mine modded for 11m too. It was done professionally, so anyone who has this radio, don't try and expand it yourself. Always get a professional to do it.

Great radio. Works well on 10,11 and 12 meters. Thanks for the great video!!

Many thanks for the honest review,excellent.

Thank you very much for your information and stories. Very interesting.

Nice looking radio, I’m just not sure, I don’t care that it doesn’t have a vfo, and I took it that the radio wasn’t aligned properly, though it wasn’t bad. Thanks for the review KG7VDN, 73

Hi Pascal. Thanks for another good review. I have the Lincoln ll and the Lincoln ll+ and they are a great budget radio. It will never be on par with the major manufactures of Ham Radio but comes a close second. Regards Daren G7 EMK. PS I see you still have that space ready for an iCOM IC 7610. LOL.

very nice radio , have bought one 73 de Robert pa3geo

What is the spectral purity of this radio like? I've seen and read that similar types of radio can produce 'spurs' outside the band!😱

Would be a fun radio to have in the car with your local 29.680 repeater in the Gatineau. I'm often on 10fm in Ottawa....lots of fun when there is an opening.

Why ? Why Roger beep offends Ham radio operator ? The radio comes with it, why not use it?

Not many reviewers mention the VOX option.

Does the receiver blank when using the up and down buttons, meaning it is nearly impossible to easily listen while you change Frequencies ?

Hi, where is that big TS-990 at? lol, just Wondering what is that little color radio up there with the nice colors? There are alot of great 10 meter radio's on the market now.Thanks,. Keep up the good work...

Excellent video very informative I will have to get one of those rigs. Alan in the UK

Hello i have this radio in my truck. It performs well however you MUST set the radio up for the function you intend to use before leaving your house. The radio is to difficult to make any changes while waiting at a stop light to change. Other than that it is better suited for base operation than mobile unless you intend to leave it pre programed in the driveway before you leave. Very good review. 73 KY4JIM

Thanks Mate, I enjoyed your story about cb radio, I was into it at the same time period here in Sydney Australia VK and the President Grant series was what I lusted after amount other things lol. I now have a nice collection of as new rigs that wren red hot at this time period. Thank you Pascal 73 Richard vk2ual

I own an HR2510 as well. It has about 10 hours of talk time / usage. The only mod was to unlock CB channels. There has been no power modification done. I have not used the radio in about 12 to 15 years (if memory serves me).

can anyone elaborate on the noise blanking/filtering? I know there isn't alot of control, but my current 10 meter rig doesn't deal well with my neighborhood noise. In fact, it's almost unusable because of consistent S5+ noise floor. Hoping something comes along like this nostalgic radio that can deal with that a little better. I used to have a 2510, then Lincoln (original)...sold it all years ago and now see this. Thanks for any comments and appreciate the review!

You can use the clarifier for both transmit and receive so you arrant off frequency

Would have loved to see this used with a CW key, but otherwise great review.

Question do you know if the data system on the back of the President Lincoln 2+ works .

9 and 19 are the emergency CB channels in Europe.

I have a theory about why president made this radio. It's very easy to modify to include 11m. However, 11m in the USA is limited to 4w. Also, many of the features wouldn't normally be found or wanted on 10m -12m, however, would be used on 11m. I speculate that this radio was really intended for the existing CB and freebanders that exist that wanted a higher pep than what was legal in the USA. This was a way to skirt around FCC, knowing that many ,if not most, would simply modify the radio. The RCI 2995dx now come factory with the E-chip. It's just my speculation. However, why else would the manufacturer include features that really aren't used and even frowned upon in amateur radio? Your thoughts?

no mention of losing audio momentarily when the vfo is turned, meaning you cannot tune around the band quickly

C'est le nouveau TRX? Le remplaçant du Ts-990. LOL

Excellent. Many thanks 👍🏻 73 de G0GCQ

Can somebody tell me how I can get that EMG 1/2 out of my scan?? I programed 1 tot 6 but this annoying EMG keeps inside of the scans!! Thanks!

Bonjour et merci pour le test du poste Président il est vrai que comme beaucoup de radioamateur ayant dépassé les 50 ans on a tous commencé sur le 27 je me rappelle de très très bons moments de très chouette DX que ça soit en mobile depuis Hong Kong sinon écoute aujourd'hui le 27 mega c'est parfois peut-être plus sympa et plus convivial que les 59 au suivant que l'on retrouve sur les bandes radioamateur je travaille tous les jours à installer des émetteur FM dab + une télé numérique et beaucoup de mes collègues sont aussi radioamateurs et quand on veut discuter tranquillement maintenant de plus en plus de gens retourne sur le 27 mais chut!!! 73 de f4oqu

I just recently got the President Lincoln II plus I have one question win you use the built-in SWR meter is there a way to turn it back off or does it just stay on after that

this radio reminds mo of the old 2510

What is the radio that is turned on above the President Lincoln box with the somewhat green display, just seems interesting, curious to know?

Good video 👍

Great video. Can you tell me what antenna the company recommended for you to use. Michael VA6XMB

Could you make a video on how well it performs CW and filtering?

Ok, no one is talking about using the split option. So, anyone can contact me and I will help you out on that feature.

allo et merci pour la video 73 de base snoopy

How can I do to give gain to the radio?

The president George was quite popular too, It sounded great on air. But for such a brilliant radio they went and fitted the worst echo board. Now some people dont like echo fullstop and thats ok. But as far as echos go this was'nt even a good one! That was the only thing that let down the radio. They should have fitted something better like a speech prosessor or something.

My freind has a 10 meter radio it’s pretty dead my Cb is allways talking I just don’t see it.

WHERE CAN I BUY PLEASE

I see no main HAM transceiver on your desk still. Any update what is happening with this?

Lol. It's funny how you're talking about the radio and making it clear that it's not a CB and that you don't talk on CB. When you referred to the buttons on this radio it was funny how you said HAM radios don't use these terms or have features like the beep "fortunately". Just made me laugh quite a bit, I copy loud and clear, you don't talk on CB anymore. 73

You thought the manual is good? I think it is terrible. There are not descriptions of what the buttons do; like NB/ANL; the manual says it is noise blanket and ANL, but offers no description of what they do or when they should be used! Same thing for a "10K" button. No clue what that is for.

Great radio but mic gain on mine is crap sorry but that’s how it is.

the President electronics radios before was manufacture by uniden,now they ask some crap company in china to manufacture the new versions of the Lincoln,if ask me was a very bad choice,its all about money

From Sweden sm4xbc Am have Ones president Lincoln +2 Is god radio am have to 27mhz 27.235 ssb in Sweden god luck to radio Mvh Nils erik Karlsson sm4xbc from jo79gh Sweden

Picked one up, so far it's pretty much a good paper weight. Will give it a little bit longer before it gets the heave ho!

it looks like it speaks with a robotic voice.
