So as the drums beat louder here are some of the things you can expect to see on your newly delivered all singing and dancing Lincoln Uncoln DX5000 MK2
Lincoln II was type approved 16.12.2013
Lincoln II has 36 levels of mike gain in the menu system
There are 6 memories from n1-n6
Echo has DELAY in the menu and a maximum delay of 32
This is the default delay Echo has TIME maximum of 32 also
Banding has A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I
There is Voltage protection, SWR Protection, High Voltage,
Programmable bleep time and frequency, 50-500MS, like all Anytone clones
HI SWR Protection
Channel 9/19 button to select the emergency channel. How is that amateur radio?
The radio has the AT5555 reset option in the menu also
Audio monitor to hear your voice from the speaker. OH that’s new (Sarcastic Comment)
Split Options for repeater, default setting to the call channel
I know I will be moaned at, and in the words of the comic Brian Conley who once shouted in his act ” Its a Puppet ” I am going to do the same thing.
” Its an Anytone “
Already the wizard has many friends now who will not bother down the more expensive Qixiang route and wait for the Grant II. Uniden to the bone, but as President are creatures of habit will the new Grant II has 120 channels export thus making it the same idea with a new number or will it have 25-30MHZ as the idea?
I emailed and asked for a review piece of the Lincoln II & also the Grant II as some people think that I work for President? Got no Christmas card from them and indeed they never replied. I am connected to them on LinkedIn and asked there, and was ignored also. I was going to review it for my you tube, for Radio User and some other publications but emails are ignored, no replies, nothing to say I guess.
So Mr Markus Neuner www.neuner.de will once more supply me with a radio. Yes seems that in the past months I have released photos of the William, Thomas, Lincoln II, Randy II all before release dates but that’s because people leak me information. They should shoot the people in facilities that leak and not the messenger.
And from prototype the changes are the modes are now on a button and not on the variable that is now the power levels. Some tidying up of the buttons, made to look a little neater and the buttons are now more Uniden’ish and less Qixiang’ish.
