Thanks!! What a cool set up!! Mine just came in both pieces! This time my 203p is black my other is red and both are supper cool for their size.. I don’t know a bunch about them but they seem to work great for me… how cool to see them work together on the scope !! Thanks for the video!! And the back up on what resistor to use I should have them in the mail Saturday so hopefully you’ll hear me on Sunday !! 73’s NorCal MotorMouth
Enjoyed the video, Thank you! I am currently running a KL203 paired with a President McKinley radio. I have a Stryker SR-A10 magnet mounted antenna on the roof of my car. SWR's are flat with the radio, and 1.2- 1.4 with the KL203 . Overall I like it, and your test shows that this RM is better than people think it is.
@@davenelson4154 I was so happy with the one I already have, I bought another one to use for another application. I have been using the first one for over two years now in my car. Use it everyday. Run it at the normal vehicle voltage. Kept my SWR's flat. Never had a problem.
You did my anytone a few months back, I ended putting that radio at buddy’s shack and I put the president Lincoln in my shack. I sure like these little radios. Nice work.
I purchased another RM KL 203P. This one runs my Texas Star DX1600 at my base. Set at 13.8v. Runs great. I purchased a President Thomas for my car, and now use the President McKinley in the house. I also use my Stryker 955 sometimes too. Both sound great. Like the Stryker better. However, using the President CB radios it is an easy 4 watts. No need to turn anything down.
That’s good information on the RF power. I’m new to the radio hobby and I just got my first amplifier and no one ever mentioned about rf power (off) to me that’s awesome info Ground Control thank you. appreciate it. It’s also a Kl 203. My first test run with one.
Thanks for video. i use one of those guys on a trc-465, 1998 model i think,in the mobile.i had to replace the fets in it due to origional owner hitting it with 80w.lol.take care my friend.766 pa.
Great video Once a radio has been taken time with it will always be clean & smooth talking. Just wish they would made freq readout bigger in this Lincoln II+ . I like mine . I have a Stryker 955 RF carrier is 10 watt in max cau as e most radio as most could handle the ass t input but MOSFET RF swings a bit to hard . And when be Stryker is on SSB just shut amp off. I notice the Lincoln II+ is not as agrassive as 955hpc. The kl 203 amp looks good match in video I'm using old school amp with MRF- transistors .
Just shows there's always room for some Black Ops Technology improvements even on a good factory tune.. nicely done 👍 Curious what the ssb pep going into the amp was at the specified RF pwr setting?
Nice setup, with crystal clear transmission and instructions. The SOP tutorial on amplifier use is invaluable. I have one radio for barefootin' local, another hooked up to a pea shooter for DXing on the bench. I still run a systems check on both before keying up. A little common sense will save you mega cents. 73's. 😑🦗
Good evening my name is jonathan ,im interested in your president lincoln match up.with the klm 200p i have a BJ300 and a zetagi 501p .Am interested in the purchase of the Lincoln 2 modified for cb peak and tuned to match please can you help me .
I am not a radio dealer sir, customers have their radios shipped to me directly from the retailer. Contact me once you bought your radio. Groundcontrol204@icloud.com
I have a kl300p to hook it up with my hr2510 which I will turn the AM power output pot inside to have a deadkey of 1.5 watts. Do you think that would be enough? And would a 3 feet rg8 jumper coax be ok?
Just watched video on you hooking up 203p amplifier. I am looking to boost power on my lincoln 2 plus. I currently working with a jetstream power supply will it work with what I have, radio is currently using band a as cb 1-40 channels let me know
I'm thinking of buying one of those Lincoln 2+ it has everything I would need and want and also eyeing the Rm Italy amps I was wondering if possible to get your info and would you be willing to go thru my Lincoln 2+ and Amp and set everything to where it needs to be so I don't fry my amp or radio....Also I have to say your work area looks clean af that to me says a lot..
You wouldn't happen to be located in the New England area? Preferably Mass. / Rhode Island? By any chance? I'm looking into a Lincoln 2+ also. I'm already getting more familiar with ham and gmrs and wanted to get CB w/ SSB rig and trying to get the simplest and cost effective bundle possible.
I have this radio, bought brand new off a friend. I'm uk and ours should have the wire, but this one has the resistor in it. My issue is when on 11m on 27.781. It reads 27.785 and I have to keep adjusting it via the dial. Shoul it by like that?
@@GroundControl204 O.K. understood ! Thanks ! Any thoughts on my second question, about the distorted receive on these President Lincoln 2 Plus radios ?
@Ground control 204, Hello from P.R.! Im fan of your channel & videos. How can I get I touch with you? I need help & info on how to connect my new oscilloscope to my radios.? Im starting fixing radios here in the island for friends. Any help it's been appreciated. Thanks! Kirk
Groundcontrol204@icloud.com is my email sir. Also, on my channel scroll over to “community” and find my post about transmitter test equipment and receiver test equipment, those two diagrams show what is needed. As for how to connect your oscilloscope just email me and we can talk about it sir.
Same, I do not supply radios and amps. That will be in the future, and more than likely I will only be providing Stryker radios and maybe President Lincoln’s. 73👋🏻
@@GroundControl204 ok sounds good. Just trying to weigh options. Love that Lincoln rm combo. I have A 980SSB but I'm not sure if it's going to survive. It's being repaired at the moment with a kl203 on it
I stay away from amps attached to radios, so many reasons why and I’ve talked about that in a few videos as well. Hope your radio gets repaired and back to you brother.
Those 203s generally don't do 100 on AM do they? I thought they did 50 on AM , maybe 100 on SSB if you really push it. I didn't realize the Lincoln only did 50 Watts on SSB. Seems like most export radios do 40 or so watts on AM and 80 or so on sideband.
Stryker 955 and 655 are 70 watt radios and clean on the oscilloscope, they are way better performers than any radio made by president. To truly get accurate readings considering peak wattage you will definitely need a meter made by Bird, coaxial dynamics, or Dielectric company. Cheap meters should be used only as a reference, meters from RadioShack, Dosy and PDC are just not accurate concerning peak envelope power.
@@GroundControl204 can you recommend a particular oscilloscope for somebody getting into the hobby? I don't mind spending a couple of bucks on a good one

Well, my friend, another good radio to enjoy out there in radio land.
Got some decent skip shooting power. Keep up the good work.

Curious what the ssb pep going into the amp was at the specified RF pwr setting?
Same as the AM side, this Lincoln 2+ does 35 watts PeP on SSB.
I wished you was around my area. we have a fifty mile trip to find a shop. that will work on radios.

If I were to get a Lincoln, Galaxy or even a Ranger, can you do the same tune up and match the radio to maybe a 400 watt amp?
Absolutely sir. Groundcontrol204@icloud.com
Good job

It will be enough dead key yes. Now as for 3 foot jumpers I would stay away from those and use at least a 9 foot jumper. 73

It all depend on how much amperage your just stream provides. You will need at least 20 amps from your power supply to run the 203 correctly. 73👋🏻

It definitely should not be sliding at all sir.
Hey ground control I’m just wonder how you lowered the dead key i haven’t found anything out there.
I leave that info out so guys don’t blow up there own radios, one wrong turn of an internal potentiometer can ruin the radio. 73👋🏻
@@GroundControl204 will I be fine running in stock with the RF power all the way low? I’m using the same amp.
@@Inknov83d yes sir, RF power stays on low while using amp or POOF goes the amp.
I'm confused ?
@ 6:50 you said,
" Two meter conversion " ?
I reviewed it a couple times, and pretty sure that's what you said ?
So how's that ?
🤔...?
It was a simple verbal mistake, most know I meant 11 meters concerning the conversion.☑️

Hey what wattage should that channel mod be? 1k ohms but how many watts
I use a one watt or two watt 1k resistor. Some techs use lower, half watt is fine.
I thought the 203 does the same wattage as the Lincoln 2+ barefoot.
The RM Italy 203 is a two hundred watt amplifier, and the Lincoln 2+ is a fifty watt transceiver.
Those 203s generally don't do 100 on AM do they? I thought they did 50 on AM , maybe 100 on SSB if you really push it. I didn't realize the Lincoln only did 50 Watts on SSB. Seems like most export radios do 40 or so watts on AM and 80 or so on sideband.
@@GroundControl204 the Lincoln must use different finals than all the Strykers/Anytones any tones
Stryker 955 and 655 are 70 watt radios and clean on the oscilloscope, they are way better performers than any radio made by president.
