Another solid radio offering from President. Stays on frequency and sounds great on sideband.

What I don’t like about it is I can not get any reception what’s so ever out of it I don’t think it should even be sold from what I have read about the reviews on it is that they are not good at all it’s nothing but a piece of junk that’s my opinion

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 bought this to replace an old Cobra. I had this tuned when I bought it and it arrived ready to go. It is being used as a base station with a simple inverted V dipole antenna. Works great! The receiver is pretty good for this type of radio. Not as good as the one on my Yaesu 991A but then what is. The transmit is good, it puts out a solid 30-35 watts PEP and the audio sounds clean and well balanced. I get decent communications with mobiles about to about ten miles on AM and a bit further on SSB. I use it to monitor 38LSB so I know when skip is coming in.

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.

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.

Excellent radio! Ive had this about a month now and am still finding impressive features, some of which arent in the manual. I did the extra channel mod to include 11m, super easy and doesnt eliminate 10m or 12m, it just adds another band to the band menu. Tuning now runs from 24.710 to 30.110 MHz and can be tuned in as small as .1 KHz increments by using the push button on the tuning dial to move the cursor under the readout to the desired space and then turn the dial.(this is not in the manual). The TX sound is incredibly clear. People think the mic is cheap because its lightweight, DO NOT BE FOOLED! This is an electrete condenser mic and the dual filter is tuned to this specific mic. Dont change mics! It is different from any other mic out there and other mics wont work correctly with the tuned circuit in the radio. If you really have to have a heavy mic just hot glue some fishing weights to this one, thats what the other mics have anyway. The clarifier is unlocked from the factory, no need to mod it. In fact, its better than unlocked, its a menu item with 4 options, off, rx only, tx only, or both rx and tx. Ive never seen this ability on any radio, even on modded radios. SWR is displayed every time you key up. The freq counter switches to an SWR counter when you key up. It has high SWR protection that it also a menu item that you can turn on or off and set the step down level. This things got it all! Well, almost all. The only two things I dont like, the bottom firing speaker. Just get rid of it. Is just taking up space in the cabinet. The only place it works is in an overhead mounting anyway. I pulled mine out, maybe it will help with cooling to have the extra airflow through the open holes. Get a good external. No biggie. The biggie? No direct entry keypad anywhere. A keypad on the mic and this thing would be perfect.

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.

This radio worked great. It was right on Frequency and has good clean power. Mars mod was easy to do. If you like 10 and 12 meter bands I cannot think of a more reliable radio than this one. Love it.

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