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

Great radio, priced right. Clean sound, and has a ton of features. I have it mounted in my car, have a Wilson 1000, I talk to my dad every day, I get around 10 miles in the city (Orlando, FL). I have not tried further away, but I am sure it will receive without issues.

Thanks!

I use this as a base radio. Excellent SSB, DX contacts all over the U.S. barefoot. I dont care for all the multifunction buttons, you cant switch from SSB to AM without cycling through all options. When using channel scan, most button functions do not work. Audio quality is very good, recieve is somewhat noisy. Dead key out of the box can be turned down to 4 watts, may need to be tuned to use most solid state amps. Overall a very nice unit.

The features are great for the price. Good mounting set and power cable. Yet, Im disappointed in the memory and programming options. Even after finding a 3rd party cable, the free software from President doesnt do much. If you want it to act like a CB, youll be thrilled. If you want to scan the ham bands and create channel groups for different modes, not so much. The stock channel groups dont match usable ham bands or segments within the bands. Regarding channel frequencies, I have yet to find a way to change anything but the 6 memories and emergency channels. So, all the default channels end in 5kHz increments; and cant be changed, apparently. The TX and RX do well. The clarifier is really useful and the noise filtering options are very useful as band conditions change. The metering is convenient for battery voltage and swr. The mic key misses occasionally and I have to re-key. It is very easy to modify for CB use, and the channels line up nicely, so Ive heard. If someone wants more than legal power and to free-band, it could be done: allegedly.

Great deal, online cnn shops sell this for $75.00 more than found on Amazon. Great deal, right out of the box satisfaction. Radio came with bracket mix hanger double sided tape, power cable, solid mix and solid radio.

A glich in order but all is well. Seller is good to deal with. I would buy again .

Great radio at a great price. Fast shippng...

Overall a good radio. I actually like it better than my galaxy 99v that i had good transmitt and receive...but the ASC is useless so i dont use it if someone is putting a full signal on you it will work fine anything less than a 9.5 and you wont hear a thing So thats something that president needs to address and fix but if you dont mind using the squelch i would recommend this radio to anyone

Ham radio

I bought this radio as an incentive to get back on the air after a 20 year hiatus. I had a HR2600 packed away all that time but it does not work any more so decided to replace it with this one. I am not into all of this programming stuff but I am glad that at least it has conventional volume,squelch RF output power, mic gain and RF gain. I am sure there are many that would buy this radio due to the easy conversion to CB but I would not recommend that as it is illegal to operate on CB and also voids the warantee. RF output is as stated in the specs when connected to a dummy load and also to my 35 year old Collinear Ground Plane antenna. There is a rotary control to use as a vfo and also up down buttons on the mic to change frequency. The noise blanker is effective. The internal speaker is effective in an relatively quiet area and there is provision for a plug in external speaker if desired. I got good reports on the transmit audio and the receive sensitivity is very good as well. For the most part the comprehensive instruction manual is rather straight forward but I am still trying to figure out how to set up the PL tone and offset for FM repeater operation. I used this radio for field day 2020 operating as a 1D station and for the most part if I could hear em I could work em with this radio. Of course band conditions will dictate what kind of results you will get. I would not suggest buying this radio for use on Citizen Band ( CB ) . If you want to be on CB buy a type accepted CB radio ( for a lot less money ) and be legal about it.
