I was just curious on what the tune up from copper consisted of when purchasing this from copper? I know 11 meter modifications but what as far as any other power mods if any? Was thinking of purchasing one from copper here within the next month or so. Any other information on this radio would help if you guys had any comments!! Thanks!! |

Boxcar,
Here is the Tune Up Copper does when you get your Lincoln as per one of the Forummaster's earlier post's on this topic.
 RX (Recieve)Alignment per Manufacturer Specifications.
TX (Transmit) Alignment per Manufacturer Specifications.
PLL Synthesizer, Alignment as per Manufacturer Specifications.
Hope this answers your question.

Boxcar,
For this question I will hopefully request help from Bruce.
I picked mine up when we drove down to visit Copper, but as yet have only had time to take it out of the box to look at it.
Bruce has done the ChipSwitch to his and can probably help you with this answer & others you may have on it.
C'mon Bruce (old pal) help me out here.

Bruce arent you a "HAM"? If you are then what are you doing with a radio that will operate out of band?? And beyond that a radio that has been modified?? |

HELLO it receives as does many other radios like many hf transceivers do and since when is it illegal to mod a HAM radio ?????? and if it is then 99% of the radios on hf are illegal as for transmit it works on 24.9 and 29.9 BOTH are ham frequencys. Type acceptance is required for HAM radios only above 30 mhz.

Mine is Chip Switched, and I am sure ,JUST LIKE BRUCE,  his settings are limited to TX on the Amateur Bands only.
The Chip Switch allows you to customize your radio including shutting off transmit on certain frequencies (11 meter) to receive only.

Frequencydude,
Last I knew Bruce was allowed to operate on Bands 10/12/15/17/20/30/40/75/80/160 Meters as well as other bands, per his FCC Granted License.
Which covers HF Bands from 3.525 to 29.7 and MF 1800-2000 plus 23/33/70 Centimeters. And 2 & 6 Meters & MURS bands and above 300 GHz.
And he is allowed to modify and operate on any/all bands that his Ham ticket allows.
As per the FCC Rules / Technical Standards:
Quote:
The FCC entrusts amateurs with this freedom to experiment because they know that amateurs have knowledge of what is and isn't legal and that they will comply with Part 97.
Out of Band? NO, as long as he stays and operates within the limits of his license.
Just my thought's.

I've had five Chipswitched radios and never had one you could shut off transmit! If you got 'em use 'em. |

Bearfoot i know your pulling my chain .... I use this radio as a 10 meter base on fm. If i wish im free to lissen to any thing it will tune and have done so. Now untill the FCC outlaws modified radios and there is no way they will it will continue to be used exactly as im using it right now. The Lincoln is as good as my ft-840 on fm and is a whole lot less money if i should forget to unplug the antenna. Now i have and do use a number of radios on hf including a ft-840 several dx-70's and my ft-100d NONE of which are modified..... all have general coverage recivers all COULD be moded to cover cb. Bottom line NO one should ever asume that just because you have it you are or even might use it. And as for thoes who do.... well you know ther rules. |

Bruce, I was making a comment on 558's statement that you could shut off the transmit. I have had several Chipswitched Lincolns and HR2510s and never saw that feature. It really doesn't matter.Most people here should know where they should and shouldn't transmit. I monitor a lot of 10 meter but would never transmit there. |

Bearfoot i knew that your emails show your a sharp guy The lincoln like a lot of hf sets gives you limited control its too bad it CANT be done. Sadly your correct people should know where they can transmitt but dont care some do and respect others rights and frequencys. Some break laws some dont i chose not to break laws |

Hello.
I used to own a HR 2510 and a 2600 both good rigs for SSB use but are kinda wimpy on AM. These rigs including the Lincoln use lo level audio on AM but overall they are great radios. Loved the NB ANL feature on the 2510/2600 it ACTUALLY works!!!! |

I think too much is made of the Lincoln having weak AM. If you turn the AMC up, and use a good quality mic, It sounds SWEEEEET on AM! True it wont blast you out, but it is plenty stout, very respectable audio. I use an Astatic 575 hand mic in the mobile and a Shure 526T base mic when it is in the shack. And Bruce is right about the FM - it is outstanding, as is SSB!
Now if you want wimpy AM, you should hear my 1300 dollar FT-847 on AM... PUKE!!! 12 percent modulation...sounds like I'm talking from inside a horse's arse! |

The only HF rigs that have any good audio on AM that ive found out are the Icom 706 series. Oh and the old school yaesu FT 101 Series.. They had great AM audio. I had a kenwood 430 and a yaseu FT 747 and 757 and they sounded like **** on AM couldnt talk past 5 miles! |
