Good ham radio!!!

Seems to be a great little radio in a small package

This radio is a waste of good money. Specs say you get 12 watts on AM mode. I am lucky to get 3 Watts on any mode. Will not receive from a friend that lives e miles away pushing 200 Watts on his radio. Either I received a defective radio or it is pure junk. Have contacted seller and have yet to receive a reply. I have completed the modification to the radio so I doubt if they will allow me to return it. I will take it to a shop and have it tuned properly but that will cost me another $100.00. Should have purchased the Uniden 980.

Excellent Radio for the price works great!!!

I passed my Extra about a month ago now, and after playing around (and still enjoying) VHF/UHF, I wanted to get down into HF to chase that sweet sweet DX. I got a taste of the bug from working remote stations, but its just not quite as exciting as getting that QSO from the rig right in front of my face. Opinions differ, and I respect if you love working remote, but for me I knew right away that I would prefer an in person HF rig. The only problem was the cost. I do not have $1000 to dump into this hobby. I was able to get this unit in open box condition for about $200. Thats the cheapest Ive seen any HF radio. I get that it only does the upper HF band--not even 20 meters--and is almost a monobander for that reason. However, I live in a small rented space, so working the lower bands was probably not going to happen very successfully anyhow. A 10 meters dipole I can just barely manage. Accepting this limitation, I decided this radio could be the one for me. Also, Im a digital person. I dont like voice mode much. I use this radio to work FT8, RTTY, etc. It totally does work, but it takes some creativity. I used a SignaLink with the 4 pin round mic cable plus another 6 to 4 pin adapter cable I ordered from Amazon as well such that I could physically connect my radio to the SignaLink. I had to guess the jumpers on my unit but I eventually figured out that pin 3 was my PTT and 2 was my MIC, IIRC, and I had no problem driving this radio digital in USB (SSB, not the computer port) mode so long as my desktop power supply unit could supply enough power on the red and black input power cables for the radio. The built in SWR meter wasnt mentioned in the listing but is greatly appreciated. Lastly, I want to make an important note about the flavor of the radio. Its something you really need to understand before buying. This radio isnt designed or laid out like a ham radio should be. It has the flavor of a CB radio. I suspect the actual market is for people to mod this not use as is as a ham radio. Its just weird. Hams wont know this brand or radio. Roger beep? Echo? You will not and should never use these features. Channel numbers? No such thing. In ham radio, we use frequencies! The channel numbers when you tune are completely made up as far as I can figure and are meaningless. The bands button behaves completely illogically and has no relation to actual ham radio bands. It boggles the mind. If you dont mind having a weird radio then do it, I did, and Im happy with it. It works great when simply going direct to the frequency you desire and tuning around if you ignore the random band numbers and symbols. With that all said, for what I paid, it works great. I can live with the weirdness.

This radio works well, provided you can take it to a professional to have it properly tuned, aligned and cleaned. Make sure you purchase the DNC520 mic as well because the stock DNC520 that comes with the radio will keep trying to change channels when you push to talk due to poor circuit design.

This version IS the latest version of the President Lincoln ll line, being that it is the Lincoln ll+. The sale offerer has mistakenly mismarked the version stating that it is V3. There is a Version 3 of the Lincoln ll, the third in the line. This is the fourth issue of the Lincoln line thus the + after Lincoln ll I own one, love it and do know the various versions.

NO SOUND AT ALL!!!!

Works for 10m and can easily be modified for 11m No issues with this rig
