🚀 Abunda's Overview
This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.
Both users find the President HF Rig to be a good value for its price, despite some eccentricities related to its layout and features. User WBY praises the large, bright, and easily readable display, as well as the various controls and features such as the Clarifier and variable RF power control. Meanwhile, user Karen W broadly acknowledges it as a useful start for anybody getting into HF, while also calling out its quirks. Both users advise to be aware of its CB radio-like layout, and some oddities like unused echo and Roger beeps.
Pros
- 👍 Affordable for a HF Rig
- 👍 Low footprint and bright, readable display
- 👍 Good set of controls and features
- 👍 Can be used for different modes such as FT8, RTTY etc.
Cons
- 👎 Layout is more like a CB radio, less like a typical ham radio
- 👎 Comes with features like echo and Roger beeps that are typically not used
- 👎 Some reported quirks with menu settings and volume control
Should I Buy It?
If you are looking for an affordable HF radio to delve into the world of ham radio or upgrade your VHF/UHF setup, this could be a viable option. Just be aware that it does come with a few quirks and unconventional features attributed to its CB radio-like layout. If these do not pose a problem, the radio seems to be a good value for its price.
A highly recommendable transceiver, President Lincoln II V.3+
There is a surprising amount of control for this radio. The receive is extremely sensitive and the high cut filter works really well. For mobile use, the antenna noise limiter and noise blanker are really, really, good. However, I only used it mobile once. It is now a home unit that is powered with a computer power supply. 30 watts AM peak, 56 watts ssb, and just under 40 watts FM are the power measurements into a dummy load. I am not authorised for AM, FM, LSB use on 10 meters because of my lowly license. The RF gain control helps tremendously during noise atmospheric condition days. It is not merely a secondary volume. The roger beep time comes in really handy for 10 meter USB. I set it to 50 millisecond duration and I no longer have to end sentences with, "over," which I hate doing with a passion. With such a short beep set, it does not annoy anybody and It still does the job of removing the, "over," from the end of sentences. 12 meters is only receive for me. My lowly license does not cover 12 meters. CW is smooth with no harsh buzzing or hissing, like some CB/amateur radio combinations are. Speaking of CB, there is supposed to be a conversion for CB that can be done to this radio. It may have something to do with the data port, I am not sure. I already have a CB. I highly recommend this radio for anybody. You can be a complete novice, like me, or hold the highest license your nation offers, it is the radio for everyone. Even if you do not have a license, it is an excellent receiver for 10 and 12 meters. From what I have heard, with a small conversion, it will even receive 11 meter CB, (probably not transmit). Some business bands can also be picked up, and the end of portion shortwave. It is not a full HF transceiver, but what a radio for £200!

Awesome!
Excellent radio! I've had this about a month now and am still finding impressive features, some of which aren't in the manual. I did the extra channel mod to include 11m, super easy and doesn't eliminate 10m or 12m, it just adds another band to the band menu. Tuning now runs from 24.710 to 30.110 MHz and can be tuned in as small as .1 KHz increments by using the push button on the tuning dial to move the cursor under the readout to the desired space and then turn the dial.(this is not in the manual). The TX sound is incredibly clear. People think the mic is cheap because it's lightweight, DO NOT BE FOOLED! This is an electrete condenser mic and the dual filter is tuned to this specific mic. Don't change mics! It is different from any other mic out there and other mics won't work correctly with the tuned circuit in the radio. If you really have to have a heavy mic just hot glue some fishing weights to this one, that's what the other mics have anyway. The clarifier is unlocked from the factory, no need to mod it. In fact, it's better than unlocked, it's a menu item with 4 options, off, rx only, tx only, or both rx and tx. I've never seen this ability on any radio, even on modded radios. SWR is displayed every time you key up. The freq counter switches to an SWR counter when you key up. It has high SWR protection that it also a menu item that you can turn on or off and set the step down level. This thing's got it all! Well, almost all. The only two things I don't like, the bottom firing speaker. Just get rid of it. Is just taking up space in the cabinet. The only place it works is in an overhead mounting anyway. I pulled mine out, maybe it will help with cooling to have the extra airflow through the open holes. Get a good external. No biggie. The biggie? No direct entry keypad anywhere. A keypad on the mic and this thing would be perfect.

One of my favorites 10/11/12 meter radios
Excellent receive, multi-mode (AM/FM/SSB) versatility, and handy features like Automatic Squelch Control (ASC) and memory functions, making it great for 10/12. Yes can be converted to 11 meters. Has everything you need for a typical 10/11/12 meter radio.

A very good radio if you’re looking for a 10-12 meter mobile
I have to say that I didn’t like this radio while running tests as a base station. I think my Antron 99 was introducing too much noise. My change of mind happened once I installed this radio in my car. So, here are the things I like and dislike: I like: 1. Very quiet receiver when used in my car. Low noise floor. I have to keep checking if the radio is on. 2. Good transmit audio. I left mine stock. No adjustments. 3. Sensitivity is great. I’m able to detect a tone at -127dbm. 3. RIT and XIT is included in V3. The non V3 didn’t have XIT feature in the menu. In version 3 You can turn one, the other, or both on. 4. Power output was exactly as specified 5. President was kind enough to chat with me about my concerns. 6. Love the DIN size. Excellent. Dislikes: 1. I prefer to see the frequency as full screen instead of the CHannel number. 2. CW has a few bugs. The first character sent is usually clipped. 3. Mic seems a bit light weight but sounds good.

Starter HF Rig
I passed my Extra about a month ago now, and after playing around (and still enjoying) VHF/UHF, I wanted to get down into HF to chase that sweet sweet DX. I got a taste of the bug from working remote stations, but it's just not quite as exciting as getting that QSO from the rig right in front of my face. Opinions differ, and I respect if you love working remote, but for me I knew right away that I would prefer an in person HF rig. The only problem was the cost. I do not have $1000 to dump into this hobby. I was able to get this unit in open box condition for about $200. That's the cheapest I've seen any HF radio. I get that it only does the upper HF band--not even 20 meters--and is almost a monobander for that reason. However, I live in a small rented space, so working the lower bands was probably not going to happen very successfully anyhow. A 10 meters dipole I can just barely manage. Accepting this limitation, I decided this radio could be the one for me. Also, I'm a digital person. I don't like voice mode much. I use this radio to work FT8, RTTY, etc. It totally does work, but it takes some creativity. I used a SignaLink with the 4 pin round mic cable plus another 6 to 4 pin adapter cable I ordered from Amazon as well such that I could physically connect my radio to the SignaLink. I had to guess the jumpers on my unit but I eventually figured out that pin 3 was my PTT and 2 was my MIC, IIRC, and I had no problem driving this radio digital in USB (SSB, not the computer port) mode so long as my desktop power supply unit could supply enough power on the red and black input power cables for the radio. The built in SWR meter wasn't mentioned in the listing but is greatly appreciated. Lastly, I want to make an important note about the flavor of the radio. It's something you really need to understand before buying. This radio isn't designed or laid out like a ham radio should be. It has the flavor of a CB radio. I suspect the actual market is for people to mod this not use as is as a ham radio. It's just weird. Hams won't know this brand or radio. Roger beep? Echo? You will not and should never use these features. Channel numbers? No such thing. In ham radio, we use frequencies! The channel numbers when you tune are completely made up as far as I can figure and are meaningless. The bands button behaves completely illogically and has no relation to actual ham radio bands. It boggles the mind. If you don't mind having a "weird" radio then do it, I did, and I'm happy with it. It works great when simply going direct to the frequency you desire and tuning around if you ignore the random band numbers and symbols. With that all said, for what I paid, it works great. I can live with the weirdness.

Good value and feature rich.
I use this as a base radio. Excellent SSB, DX contacts all over the U.S. barefoot. I don't care for all the multifunction buttons, you can't switch from SSB to AM without cycling through all options. When using channel scan, most button functions do not work. Audio quality is very good, recieve is somewhat noisy. Dead key out of the box can be turned down to 4 watts, may need to be tuned to use most solid state amps. Overall a very nice unit.

Not as good as the President Ronald
Poor modulation and very poor receive on strong local signals. I own the very small President Ronald radio which is a lot better than this Lincoln. The drawback of the Ronald is that it does not have sideband. But I've tested this Lincoln side-by-side with my Ronald and this Lincoln will go in the trash can. I promise you it's not nearly the radio that the President Ronald is. If you have a very nearby strong station this President Lincoln will clip it out and cut the received where you cannot hear their signal. the digital display will indicate that there's a strong signal coming through but you will not hear the audio. No combination of noise limiter noise blanker or high-cut or none will allow that strong signal to come through. You have to cut down the receive game in order to receive that strong signal. And then you can't hear any medium or distant stations. all reports of transmission reported that I had very poor modulation. The Rodger beep was stronger than my voice. when I finally unplug the Lincoln and plugged in the President Ronald everybody breathes a sigh of relief and said that I was finally back. This radio in my opinion is junk compared to the Ronald. UPDATE:. Bought an Anytone AT5555N. Now this radio is what I was looking for!

Great CB radio / Update AGC Fix
Ok, while technically it is sold as a 10 meter export radio, it is a great CB once converted. There are more of these being used as a CB than 10 meter, the radio is made to do this. There is no law that prevents this conversion, an FCC rule only. Not law. It is worse to drive over the speed limit. Update: The receive has a problem with the AGC limiter. Signals will overload and sound raspy, even weak signals. This can be modified to give a stronger signal to the AGC circuit so it can work properly. The fix is to remove R205 and solider a bit of wire in its place. If you don't have experience with this, you can take it to a shop and tell them what you need.
