Review on Enhanced Performance Lincoln II Plus 10/12 Meter Ham Radio by Karoly Reddick

Revainrating 4 out of 5

amazing radio in fixed radios CB

I wanted a Lincoln 2 after first seeing it it was either a Lincoln or a Grant 2. I still have my HR2510 which is for the scarcity of spares and finally i hardly ever run it anymore, i run it from time to time and to keep the caps from drying out i have always used high end radios and the so called "10m" export which tends to , drifting horribly on ssb, has the same cold solder joints or the same constant board cracks as every other model offered with ept3XXX series boards. Added settings, added a useless swing kit or a newly found so-called tweak that I had to remove or fix and fix the TX or RX section or mostly both, either way the president got the ball out of the park with that one kicked yo Find out what everything in the menu does and how to shift steps for the VFO. It's very easy to use. I love that you can change the tone of the beeps 2475kHz so it's not too annoying if you're using VHF with a remote station, echo adjustment isn't as easy as it could be, it's nice to have a bit for add noisy situations to help reduce, although QRM, SSB audio reports are clear and super clean. FM is crisp with no clipping, AM is a bit quiet which isn't a big deal but it's clean, the high pass filter is very good for getting rid of high frequency noise like on my Magnum 257, it's nice to be able to adjust echo with feedback if needed, then bring up the menu and turn it off, unlike my galaxies who never liked the ASC circuit too much even with unid CB radios as it can sometimes be too strong for weaker transmitters to break the squelch area generally it is not yaesu, kenwood or icom but it has pote for good contacts initially, with good sound reports on ssb and fm, and with the right antenna setup as a base or mobile i am very happy with this radio, every report has been excellent with this radio, know not why others have problems

Pros
  • hands free
Cons
  • very expensive
