President Lincoln II Plus Ham Radio, Rotary Switch, Up/Down Channel Selector, VFO Mode, RF Power, S-meter, Multi-functions LCD Display, 6 Memories, Vox Function, Beep Function, AM/FM/LSB/USB/CW Modes

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.

One of the few 10m radios that has SSB, CW, and AM along with FM. Will be a great unit for when the bands open up again.

Poor modulation and very poor receive on strong local signals. I own the very small President Ronald radio which is a lot better than this Lincoln. The drawback of the Ronald is that it does not have sideband. But Ive tested this Lincoln side-by-side with my Ronald and this Lincoln will go in the trash can. I promise you its not nearly the radio that the President Ronald is. If you have a very nearby strong station this President Lincoln will clip it out and cut the received where you cannot hear their signal. the digital display will indicate that theres a strong signal coming through but you will not hear the audio. No combination of noise limiter noise blanker or high-cut or none will allow that strong signal to come through. You have to cut down the receive game in order to receive that strong signal. And then you cant hear any medium or distant stations. all reports of transmission reported that I had very poor modulation. The Rodger beep was stronger than my voice. when I finally unplug the Lincoln and plugged in the President Ronald everybody breathes a sigh of relief and said that I was finally back. This radio in my opinion is junk compared to the Ronald. UPDATE:. Bought an Anytone AT5555N. Now this radio is what I was looking for!

I have to say that I didn’t like this radio while running tests as a base station. I think my Antron 99 was introducing too much noise. My change of mind happened once I installed this radio in my car. So, here are the things I like and dislike: I like: 1. Very quiet receiver when used in my car. Low noise floor. I have to keep checking if the radio is on. 2. Good transmit audio. I left mine stock. No adjustments. 3. Sensitivity is great. I’m able to detect a tone at -127dbm. 3. RIT and XIT is included in V3. The non V3 didn’t have XIT feature in the menu. In version 3 You can turn one, the other, or both on. 4. Power output was exactly as specified 5. President was kind enough to chat with me about my concerns. 6. Love the DIN size. Excellent. Dislikes: 1. I prefer to see the frequency as full screen instead of the CHannel number. 2. CW has a few bugs. The first character sent is usually clipped. 3. Mic seems a bit light weight but sounds good.

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

Nice radio, lots of features. Audio section has a lot of idle noise.

This is the older Lincoln not the newest with the higher power output. I received my Lincoln and tested it and found all the outputs were low. I contacted the President company support and found that the newest radio, with the higher output is President Lincoln II + . No Plus and no V3 because that is the older model with the lower output. Total scam and false advertising on this radio.

VERY HAPPY WITH RADIO!

This little rig from President works fairly well. It has about any feature youd want, and a few (like echo) you might not use. Besides the small footprint, a huge selling point (to me) is the bright display. Its easy to read in even the brightest sunlight (something that cant be said for other transceivers like the 980SSB). I think its because its a light background with dark numbers vs. the 980ssb which is the reverse (light on dark) Ive owned the previous version of this radio (Lincoln II) and havent noticed any big difference between the two, with the exception of the II+ being 12-10 meters and the II only 10m. Power output (35w PEP) is good, and the typical controls youd come to expect (Clarifier, Mic gain, NB, etc.) are all there. If there is someone you dont like to use (Im not a big fan of echo or Roger beeps) - dont use them (at least theyre there). Variable RF power control from the front panel is nice, and even the ASC Squelch works pretty decent. While I could gone on about every feature ad nausem Id like to mention the Clarifier. If you talk SSB youre familiar with how a Clarifier control should work. USA CBs with sideband only have the ability to vary the receive frequency. In the olden days CBs like a 148 or Uniden XL were easy to modify the circuitry in order to allow your frequency to track on both transmit and receive. Today its almost impossible to do that with a 980ssb or McKinley. Default setting is Clarifier OFF. From there you can go into the menu and set it to adjust receive only, transmit only, or receive and transmit. It can be done easily because this isnt a CB radio. So far, my experience with this feature is just okay. Sometimes I set it to tx/rx and power down the radio after using it, the menu setting reverts to OFF the next time I turn it ON ----> but not every time (weird). I have one II+ that holds it and another that doesnt. This isnt a deal breaker, its just annoying. What I do find a little annoying is how the volume control works. With a typical radio when you power it ON and slowly turn the volume control the speaker audio increases smoothly, but this doesnt do that. The speaker audio goes from silence to something I would call 2 skipping the lowest setting. As you turn the volume UP there is noticeable distance you have to adjust it to be able to hear anything. This isnt a big deal in the car, but at home its been irritating because late at night I like a low volume as to not bother anyone else in the house, and I cant get that with a II+ so I dont use it in the house much any longer, only mobile. Ive have two of these (bought from different vendors) and both do the same thing so Im pretty sure its not a defective radio Parsee. As for the origin of manufacture, its Vietnam. These days you have to pick your poison and Ill pick Vietnam over China any day. Presidents attention to a quality build is ever-present and I believe their warranties are the best in the business. These almost always sell for around $249, but last year they were reduced by $20 around Black Friday / Cyber Monday.

All good.
