Qixiang had a bad press and many people complained about the Lincoln II, and indeed i also was less than impressed when they first come to market but i state now the same as i said then. If i needed today to have a new radio designed for SSB and it was full size and or DIN then i would ask Qixiang, discuss well, decide together and watch over every step of the way. In stores now and 210 euros for the radio
Is this radio the Grant II killer as some said when it was released as a QX 5555n. I cannot tell you, wallets, time and on air reports will answer these questions.
