  • This is a review of an amateur radio 10 and 12 metres mobile, but it seems like a portal between the 11-meter world and ham radio. The President Lincoln II + brought back some good memory to me about my first discovery years in ham radio, at the time the 10-meter band was “open” and I remember doing DX in my pickup truck using a similar radio. Let me know if this type of radio as the same effect on you.

    I have the same radio I purchased it new Canada 5 years ago - and it was already 11m capable. I'm a Trucker that drives up to 20,000 km / month. Over the last 30 years I have used several different radios. This has been the best of all. Be aware that your 2A fuse that runs your typical Cobra will not last 10 seconds. This radio requires a 6A fuse and you need to also up the CB fuse at your fusebox which is likely 3A to 6A. If you run it off a 12V battery you are bypassing the trucks fuse panel you are good with the 6A inline fuse the radio comes with. Lots of truckers get their radios modified for more power, channels , Roger beep, echo etc. This radio - in Canada has all of that and much more right out of the box. No modification is necessary.

    I had the President HR2510 as well one of the best radios I ever had. Mine was altered for 10 as well as 11 meters but no 12. I am glad to have another President.

    You have done an excellent job demonstrating the President Lincoln II+. Thank you for sharing. I have decided to get one of these radios and set it up as a base station. Maybe later on I will go mobile. 73's!

    Nice review! I just went and checked on my old President Jackson. It hasnt been on well, probably over a quarter of a century now. It still has the slide rack that I had in my CJ-7 Jeeps so probably early 90s at the latest. I think I will fire it up soon after I get a Lincoln II and hopefully my General license. For now, WRJQ238 (GMRS)

  • @jayfearrington2217

    Hi Pascal. Thanks for another good review. I have the Lincoln ll and the Lincoln ll+ and they are a great budget radio. It will never be on par with the major manufactures of Ham Radio but comes a close second. Regards Daren G7 EMK. PS I see you still have that space ready for an iCOM IC 7610. LOL.

    can anyone elaborate on the noise blanking/filtering? I know there isn't alot of control, but my current 10 meter rig doesn't deal well with my neighborhood noise. In fact, it's almost unusable because of consistent S5+ noise floor. Hoping something comes along like this nostalgic radio that can deal with that a little better. I used to have a 2510, then Lincoln (original)...sold it all years ago and now see this. Thanks for any comments and appreciate the review!

    I had one, a UNIDEN 2510, and loved it. If I remember right, it was only 25W SSB, 12.2W AM.
