Linton LT-3288 (2w)
Have a pair of the above, 2watt version. Were well regarded in their day, but little used now.
The radios themselves are in decent, used condition; one is missing the perspex window over the screen. The original batteries will charge but fade quickly on transmission, less so when just monitoring / receiving obviously. I have made a couple of basic AAA battery packs to fit, using proprietary cases, which will accept either Alkaline cells, with spacers or rechargeables, although they have to be recharged separately. In theory this extends the radio usage indefinitely.
The radios also have their original antennae and chargers (one slightly modified to give an additional output).
Can anyone give a good indication of their value please ? Although the current market is filled with multi function, multi band unit these single-band Lintons still report well and clear with decent range, handy size and simple programming.

When you can get a fully featured dual band Quansheng UV 5R+ from Moonraker for £20, who would buy the Lintons ?

Re: Linton LT-3288 - Possible Value ?
Linton LT-3288 whilst older, seems to be based on the PX-777 which utilised a superheterodyne circuit. This means it is less prone to overloading compared to the beken chip Quansheng.Metradio wrote: ↑26 Jan 2024, 22:24 When you can get a fully featured dual band Quansheng UV 5R+ from Moonraker for £20, who would buy the Lintons ?

I would say approximately £30 for the pair.
(I like both radios though!)
