Which one?

I think you will be happy with the Lincoln+II, they have that radio figured out well from the early non + models.
I will give Anyone this, they continue to build ahead with features in the clones they are making.

Well, ends up I didn't go with either one either. I bought a President Lincoln ll +.

The Lincoln II+ is a very good radio as well. I wouldn't rank it as my favorite, but it's certainly in the Top 10 of mobile radios I own. You won't be disappointed.

That’s a good choice. I’m thinking about adding one of those to my collection. As long as your antenna setup is good and match you should have no problem making some skip contacts.

I live in Sherwood Oregon. Willamette valley. You would think that the WX chans would be fired up around here. Nah. One is the norm on every radio I have ever used. The McKinley picks up two and that second one has either been dead until recently or the McKinley has a really sensitive tuner. My President Bill II FM can't using the same antenna. Not even with a pre-amp.

Oregon? You don't get no stinkin Weather All Harzard Radio (WAHR) Channel: https://www.weatherusa.net/radio

Locate a closet fornicating NWS station in nearby Washington. Go to their site specific and choose one of their WAHR Channels to assess which Oregon Counties the channel covers, if any. As a general rule, any State without a Weather Circus Orifice is picked up by surrounding offices in adjacent States, such as Richland 162.450 (Chnl 3).

Don't bother with https://www.weather.gov/nwr/
for any more than rough guesstimate of coverage

Has never been any more useful than just shy of useless.
Willamette Hopps, always my choice.

Willamette Hopps, always my choice.

Was a great hop season! If you ever visit check out TopWire Hop Project and Wolves & People. Amazing area for beer.

Ive had several differant mobile antennas mounted to my metal balcony rail of my apartment and always had good results but to get those good results and 1.0 swr i had to cut down alot from my antennas from a wilson 2000 trucker and fiberglass whips ect.
I have a firestik kw7 the 7 foot tall mobile antenna that i had to cut the entire top load off of it to get good swr and works great that way but is that normal ? The entire load butno more than that was cut
