New Radio, Maybe A Lincoln

[211 in tha mag]

Well, im going to be honest with you! If you are on SSB 90% of the time, then the lincoln is for you. BUT, i will agree, it has its' fault's on the am side, but i use another radio fofr AM, so it is not a problem with me. The 2970 is a great radio, and it will be all you qould need on SSB, and it does great on am. But you can always go out and buy a BIG ol icom, or kenwood, HE,HE.

The Magnum Delta Force stock does 30 watts, I think? How much more than that do you get out of it, RR?

OK, so I'm just wondering what the numbers look like on the setup that you do that sounds so great???

MARS/CAP mod is not a way to say "export". MARS stands for Military Affiliate Radio System, and CAP stands for Civil Air Patrol. In a nutshell, these are government programs that use amateur operators who operate on specific "out of band" frequencies as practice for civil defense and emergency communications needs.

The 6900's have some of the best RX I've ever had in a radio! They will pull in stations pretty clean other radios don't even get static from. (This includes the 2970DX I just sold.) This is the main reason I wish I could get one of them without the birdie noise defect. The audio is clean, clear, and LOUD.



I'm thinking about a Lincoln because of the RX and the NB/ANL is supposed to be the best. I'm told they will out RX the 6900's and cleaner.



Some questions I have:



Are they one of the best and cleanest receiving radios you've had signal to noise ratio? Does the NB/ANL work good? (On my 2970DX it was like, is this button really connected to something?)



When skip is running I use SSB, but I mostly run AM on the road and at my base. I understand they are weak on the AM side and don’t even have the audio a 2970DX has. Rodgerbird sent me a URL with an AMC mod. The person I'm talking to about getting one said just to keep the d-key down to 5 watts and put something on it like an Astatic mic.



I know it's not going to be a 6900, but I want to make sure if I get one it's going to be loud enough on AM to be heard and get good reports.



I'll be running a Cobra XL 350 amp with it. With around a 2 watt d-key what should I expect to see it swing to? The amp likes around 20 to hit full output. What d-key should hit around 20 watts swing?



Thanks,

Mr Gnome

well i have the ranger 6900 fhp & it had the turbo/tune by EEI. sent it to Panther Electroincs for a detune & just a peak & tune the radio sounds great on am & ssb. John did a great job fixing the @#%$ job EEI did. it did not have the birdie noise some did (i think it was the 6900 fturbo models that did) but i like the radio. it is large in size like the old corba 29 radio's but wook's good for me. it is a pain to take in & out of the semi when switching trucks though.but i get lots of flowers when talking on it. also have the president Lincoln not to good on am but ssb is great. try & talk to all of you if conditions are good this coming Sat. buying a new radio is fun isn't it.
