As there are still 6 days left on that item, I'm sure it will bring a fair amount of money. Keep an eye on it.

A Lincoln and a HR2600 are two different radios.
The ad sounds a little screwy!

HR2600 is a decent radio, I bought mine new for $199 (a long time ago). The T/R switch is a little slow if you plan to use it for contesting, and the receive has lots of birdies, otherwise it is OK.

I read the add more closely so I guess contesting is out (only +/-11, no 10 meters). You can always "chipswitch" if you have a ham license.

A 2600? Hmmmmm....Then the question is "Why did he list it as a Lincoln?" I smell something rotten. False advertising!!

He has added to description.
Only reads out on 28 & 29 mhz.
It is a un-converted HR2600, hard to convert without having Chipswitched!

Barefoot, you may be right.......I find alot of that on eBay....People find items at a garage sale or what not and have no clue what it is but know they can make money on it by selling it on eBay.

Well Very Simple, IT IS ON THE EBAY BANNED RADIO LIST!

On a 7 day add it never stood a chance of the auction being completed and Now the Person Who Listed it has also been warned if not already suspended for listing it.
