Thanks for all your help. On to setting echo were do you who own the linc 2 keep the delay / time . Thanks
Umm........you might want to never touch the echo button while on SSB. Listen to SSB traffic for a while and you'll understand why.
Can't help you there, have never used echo on any radio I've owned. Usually yank echo boards out if possible and use the controls for something else. Have never tried echo in the L2. But that's me.
The desire for echo is a head scratcher for me.
I’ve been up and down the road a long time. Set right the radio sounds so much bigger full sounding I think ? No ? Plain modulation sounds flat to me .
The first setting is the echo, and the second setting is the reverb. Too much reverb, and they sound like crap...sounds like one is in the bottom of a barrel.
There is one problem with this radio that I know about, and the authorized dealer that's a local tech around here can't figure out why it happens. Using most power mics, it will sporadically jump back one channel. The only power mic that I used that did not jump back a channel was a Procomm/Aries CB power mic. Aries is made by Procomm.
It sporadically jumped back a channel using hand held D104, chicken choker D104 TUG-8 amplified, and a Turner +3 base microphone. Had a non-amplified Cobra stock hand mic with the gray PTT bar with 1,000 ohm electret. The Cobra mic caused it to jump back lots!

The echo/reverb/power mic crowd won't buy this, but L2's have plenty of audio without much help, but they're not AM blasters. They were designed around an electret mic cartridge and lose some fidelity with other types. Believe it or not the stock mic works very well on these. I modified a D104 with an electret cartridge to use on mine and it gets very good audio reports, but the pre-amp gain is set very low. Plugged a RD104 into mine and it sounded like S#&@. Driving the radio with too much just makes them begin to splatter, but then that's all the rage nowadays.
