So I was scanning the bands on my L2. Thought I need a roadmap to these channels. Never could find a roadmap, just a pyramid showing how the band's correlate to eachother. So if you can't find something make it yourself.

Now I was a little on the sleepy side so if you find an error lemme know.

They do have the UK 1-40 channels, but not with UK 1-40 readout.
Go to a band like J which has frequencies in the 29-30mhz area

Change the channel one frequency to

2760125

and go though to channel 40

2799125

Radio will keep these channels and will not change till you reset it, so band J, I, H will stay at the 40 channels UK and in the right order

And why were the UK40 left out? SOLD AS AN AMATEUR RADIO NOT A CB RADIO which it is not type approved for.

So go buy one, you may enjoy it as it can be made 40 channels UK easily, no issues at all
Is there a you tube vid or something to show this, mine has been expanded but when i go to J and change to 27..... it jumps to a different band. I know this is old but any help greatly recieved

or alternatively is there in menu a way which i cant see to stop the VFO from being constant, ie it doesnt run the frequencies and returns to your original banded chanel 1

The above mentioned method does not work with min either,could this be a version specific feature ?(V1-V2-V3)
I have read before about this feature that the vfo can remember how you have set it in a particular band but i have never found it.

What you can do in stead; if you go to 27.6012 and then put the vfo to the 10 khz position (the cursor) you can switch with the mike/chanel buttons/channel knob the uk channels, the channel indication is no good so you will have to keep a channel/freq list next to it but it works.

I just realise:

The function your looking for is menu function "keys setting" located at "UPdn" in the menu structure, you have it now set at "frequency" meaning the mike up/dwn and the panel up/dwn buttons will adjust frequency in steps according to where the cursor is located under the frequency counter,so if you have the frequency set to 27.125 and put the cursor on the 2 you can switch channels with both up/dwn buttons all the way across the band.
So if you go to 27.6012 and put the cursor on the 0 you can swith in the uk pattern all across the band.



If you put the UPdn option to "channel" (default) both up/dwn buttons will always bring the set back to the 10/5khz pattern of the cept channels and it will repeat all channels but stay within the current band.
In this mode using the uk channels means manualy adjusting the vfo for each and every channel.

So If you want to use the uk channels its more practical to keep the set in frequency mode , to make live easier to switch between uk's 10/12,5 grid and cept 10/5 grid you could make two memorys, one on 27.6012 FM(cursor on 10 khz) to go in "uk-mode" and one on a cept channel/mode to go back to cept mode.

Thanks for replying, yes i have the uk 40 ch19 set into memory one, but as we both can see no channel number, i was just hoping that there was some special mojo i couldnt find in the menu that allowed me to do as simon said in that previous post. No worries its working and to be fair a few channels either side of 19 is all about i need.

My Lincoln II V3 have ASC in AM and FM mode only... In LSB and USB the ASC don't work at all... Is it normal and there is a way to activate ASC in all mode?
Thanks

Why would you want squelch on SSB?

Yes it is normal. If you really want to have squelch on SSB, go on manual squelch or turn the RF gain down a bit to reduce the background hiss levels. Most SSB operators don't use the squelch control.

To me personally, ASC is ideal for FM (not sure about AM, depends how noisy your location is) and no ASC for SSB. This is how many of the Anyclone (including the Lincoln 2) are designed these days.

I like ASC when I scan in AM mode or to listen in AM because noise level change a lot. On SSB, ASC could be fine for scanning??

ASC as a design is AM only as designed by Albert Bertrana. It latterly in different generations worked on FM BUT AM mode it's better. SSB nope nothing at all, just AM/FM working but AM properly.

How do the presient lincoln 2 compare to the likes of anytone 5555.

i quite fancy a modern freebander and the lincoln2 looks the mutts nutts, i did think about an midland 8001 but you hear all sorts of issues with them

If i understood correctly the lincoln2 has the same board as the anytone 5555 and there are more who have the same board.
It is manufactured by a chinese oem builder, another member of the board will know the name, i have forgotten.

I have a 2v3, its not bad but its also not very good and on cw it is hopeless due to software errors,it doesnt latch correct if the first digit is a dit,
very (maybe even a bit to much) sensitive, you will have to get used to pull down the rf gain so noise doesnt get above s3-s5.
Audio response is bad (rolls of badly) but can be flattened with a simple mod, on of cb gurus on youtube made a video about it ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FpJMks3UVsM )
I guess you can have roughly the same performance but cheaper if you dont buy the president version?

I spoke to someone else who said they’re quite different. Look how the lincoln can’t be programmed as easy
