Installing mine today w/o the mod for now. Got a RigExpert aa650 zoom arriving tomorrow and a collection of antennas to test on my van install. Also have a McKinley II FCC and ordered a President Grant FCC. I use them for work as a Pilot Vehicle Operator and Steerman for wind turbine blades. Now I’ll be able to know what works and get mine and my coworkers radios all dialed in. A CB shop mounted an antenna for a friend and her radio died. We found it had an SWR of 4.0. Sick of getting overcharged for BS!
I have bought a President Lincoln2+ off of Amazon for 249.90 euros spend 10 euro's for a resistant soldering and now i have a 480 channel 10m - 11m -12m cb transceiver and it rocks!
Yeah I really like them. Had some great audio reports with the stock microphone and they seem very stable with very little frequency drift compared to some other modern radios. Looking forward to see what President release next on the SSB side of things.
@@Transmission1 yes they work very well, I have also had good audio reports too, many stations I've spoken to in Europe have said it sounds like a high end HF set, I have also tried using other base mics on it like the expander 500 and a Sadelta echo master plus classic but the reports coming back said the stock mic is the best.. great radio for sure.
Any idea why the 2+ would have zero output power. Replaced the 3 outputs, and q55. Did a factory reset, but still no output power. Keys up, but zero power out. Wondering if theres a software setting stopping it?
Im thinking of getting one of these radios, BUT! my question is this. ch 01 that you show in this clip shows 26.965... Upon googling this that's the EU/CEPT Channels. For the UK channel for 01 should be 27.60125. 🤷♀ should it not? Also does the channel indicator show true 1 to 40 channels like when on 19 its on UK 19 & not up or down channels.? many thanks for any advice.. *NEWBIE* used to have the older president back in the 80's LOL long time since then....
Hey..thanks for the vid, so my luncoln 2(not plus) every time i shut it off, when i power it up i wont remember the last channel it was on and boots to 10 meter. Any idea why this would happen?
If you can't see the CBPWD option on the menu it probably means the modification isn't present in your radio or the resistor isn't making contact properly on the PCB board.
@@Transmission1 I have not added the resistor and have done an All reset. So I dont have the CBPWD option. How do I get the CB channels back in this situation?
thankyou for the info, i love this radio but there is sooo much to remember even with the book,i:m use to using rt systems on all my yaesu radios. Frankie cee n4fdc,wrti255
Hi, transmission. uk love your channel OK, I'm totally new to cb and .e and my boy love watching the cb on UA-cam, I'm thinking of getting one for my van, has a beginner, are they easy to set up and use, please?

These are awesome radio's, it out performs and makes my Mark 1 Lincoln seem very mundane, nice video.

Thank you for the video. It was very helpful to me.
You are welcome! :)

Simple enough, thanks for this video. I was able to get back to 11 meters. Gunsmoke Al.
i just ordered it thx for the video
Good information thanks
26.965...So that's is the EU/CEPT Channels.
UK 40 27.601 so can you put the UK 40 Channels like that after the modification
Or is it offset channels?

Once you mod the radio it has to be recalibrated.

Good to know thanks 👍📶
So why does it not show "CB" as the band name like mine does???
How much alignments and and a voltage regulator
Je tombe pas sur le menu 5.45 !!help
Restoring the Missing CB Channels there is no cbpwd on President Lincoln II

Does anyone know if the 11 meter can transmit in FM?
Yes it can transmit in FM on 11m band
@@Transmission1 Thank you!

Hi, transmission. uk love your channel
OK, I'm totally new to cb and .e and my boy love watching the cb on UA-cam, I'm thinking of getting one for my van, has a beginner, are they easy to set up and use, please?
