Greater than one weekI wanted the Lincoln 2 after seeing it for the first time, was either the Lincoln or the grant 2 i still have my HR2510 which due to scarce availability of parts and finals, i hardly run it much anymore i fire her up every now n then to keep the caps from drying out have always used higher end radios, and the so called 10 meter exports which tend to drift terribly on ssb, have the same cold solder joints or the same cracking of boards constantly as every other model offered with the ept3XXX series boards ranger, connex, galaxy or some backyard or hack c.b tech has golden screwdrivered it to death yanking out mod limiters, massive wattage tune ups, added a worthless swing kit or some new found so called tweak that i have had to go and either remove or fix and realign the tx or rx section or in most cases both, anyway president knocked the ball out of the park with this one, once you figure out what everything in the menu does, and how to move the steps for the vfo she is every simple to operate i like the fact you can change the beeps tone i have it set at 2480Khz close to NASAS quindar outro tone which is 2475Khz so its not too annoying on fm use with a distant station ,echo adjustment isnt as straightforward as it could be is nice to add just a bit for noisy situations to help cut though the qrm, ssb audio reports are crisp and super clean .f.m is crisp with no clipping, AM is a little low which is not a big deal, but its clean, the high cut filter is super nice to get rid of higher pitch static sounds just like my magnum 257 has ,nice to be able to set echo when needed with the talkback then go in to menu and shut it off,unlike my galaxies never been too fond of the asc circuit even with the uniden c.b radios as it can be a bit too strong at times for weaker stations to break the squelch range, all in all it isnt a yaesu, kenwood or icom but she has the potential to make good contacts, with good audio reports on ssb and fm and am with the right antenna setup either as a base or a mobile very happy with this radio every report gas been great with this radio not sure why others have issues

> 3 dayVery nice 10m radio. Audio quality on TX is superior, does not drift frequency. Rx is very sensitive. President Electronics if you read this please make an hf radio 160m-6m as simple as this one. The only reason i gave this 4 stars is because there is zero support when it comes to the usb port, driver install and programming with computer. This is one of few times in my life where i just cant figure it out.

Greater than one weekWhen I got this radio I wasnt impressed with the power. Dont get me wrong, it does what it says it does, but the modulation and swing was lost getting those numbers, and swing is what I was wanting. I like it over my Stryker 955, Galaxy 959 and my 148. I took it to my local shop and removed the mod limiter and had it tuned to not be a complete splatter box and now I LOVE it. Its almost doing the same as my barefoot Stryker 490 if I run the President with a KL203. There are plenty of YouTube videos on this radio for real feedback.

> 3 dayPoor 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!

> 3 dayi like the price and the power output. Not sure how the scanning is going to work out by going in 5 KHz steps. We will see
