The only manual that seems to be floating around is for the older versions. While there are a lot of similarities, I would prefer to use the most recent service manual to align some of the V3 radios I have. Has anyone found an updated manual they would be willing to share? Thanks!

No your not missing anything I found in there but I wasn't real adventurous in that site and I didn't even want to try the download. My Lincoln II+ is good enough to use so I won't invest anymore time and money in it, but it isn't anything to brag about. They didn't make that radio too long so that has got to tell us something & their customer support really stinks. Sorry I couldn't help more & hope you find what your after !
I appreciate you trying to help. I've got three of them and even new, they are out of spec. I've been using the old manual to align them but wanted to make sure not too much has changed with the procedures between the old and new before I close them back up. Thanks.
I feel your pain ! I bought 2 President radios a McKinley & the Lincoln II+ NEW and got burnt on both. I spent Time and money on both to make them usable so needless to say it's Goodbye President Radio for me. I often wondered about that Washington radio but my inner mind tells me NO NO NO ! I often thought about calling President Radio to see if I could get info on what is in that Engineering menu of the Lincoln II+ but then ask myself if I'm a Glutton for punishment. Like always good luck.
Thanks. I have seen some similar videos and between those and using the service manual for the original Lincoln 2, did an alignment. As for the Washington, I bought one a few months ago and it seems to be a really good radio so far. It's very many driven compared to the Lincoln 2 but overall I like it.
I'm glad your having some success with your Lincoln II+ but if you ever find the service manual specifically for that radio please post it. I'd still like to know what all is in that Engineering menu and how to navigate it but I'm too chicken to go exploring because I'd probably screw something up. At least now the radio is usable and not a total waste of money. As far as the Washington goes I haven't really seen very many posts on that radio. Seems as if the Anytones have taken over.
I'm assuming you have the one that's floating around for the pre + version, if not I can post it. It's still mostly applicable to the +. I've figured out parts of the engineering menu but some is still a mystery. I recently aligned one of my Lincoln 2 + radios and its now perfect on transmit on SSB, the issue now is the clarifier is out of calibration and I have to adjust it slightly beyond center to be dead on. Supposedly the Freqoff menu is where you adjust offsets for the frequency to get the clarifier back on center but I haven't figure out how to put that menu item in edit mode. If I get any more info I will definitely share it here.
No I have the Lincoln II+ but not sure which version of it I have. I think there was at least 3 versions if not 4. They must of had a lot of complaints on them to stop making them. And then along comes the Washington Mobile which I hear good things about but I still have a bad taste in my head for President Radio. I already have Too Much invested in radios and I'm sure some in here laugh if I seen their collection. LOL My problem is I have to get this place cleaned out so I don't leave my daughters with a mess. But in the mean time my Uniden PC-122 is sounding excellent with DX. LOL
That's the one I currently have but thank you for posting. I believe there is an updated one that includes the functions for the engineering menu. Additionally, I think some of the voltage values for the VCO/PLL are different on versions 3 & 4 compared to the older ones.
