I would have went with the crt7900v turbo/at5555nii or K-po dx5000+/CRT 6900v+nrc over the Lincoln 2+
All are better performing radios from what I've heard.

New president lincoln 2
- Thread starter 26sd782
- Start date
I have a Lincoln 2 arriving on 11/18, hope I will be happy with it. Replacing a drifty DX 949, want better SSB performance, a little more power without a separate amp. Doesn't have to be super loud on AM, as long as I can %100 modulation, I'll be happy on AM.
My Lincoln 2 sounds excellent on Sideband. I have had a couple of people record me dx and gave it a listen on their Facebook page. Nice power, nice size and some great features. My problem is with the harsh choppy receiver on sideband and channel rejection. Hopefully you won't have the receiver issues on yours.
I keep it for a back up mobile radio due to it's compact size and power.

I just bought one and installed in in my 22 Pete 579. Conversion is stupid easy and it sounds great. Had a couple original Lincolns that I loved.

I just put one in an ammo can. Along with a Midland GMRS 115 and an 8ah lithium battery. It's one of the few sideband radios that will fit in the tall 50 can.
That's a nice little portable setup you've got there. Like ammo, little package with a big punch.
Great idea!! So yes, I'm definitely going to steal this idea for myself.

Ammo Can Portable Radio
I am putting together a few ammo can radios and thought I would share. Standard 50 cal cans are fairly short, and most radios are longer than I realized until I tried to get something to fit. The tall 50 is a little bigger, but still small as far as radios go. I was able to squeak a Lincoln 2+...
