2) The radio is programmable by computer. Three things are called out on the front: 1) The radio comes with a three-year warranty. We’ll try to cover as much as we can in the written review but we’ve also made a couple of videos to accompany this review to show all of the cool features and functions in use.įirst things first, let’s show you the box the radio comes in. The radio chassis is new, and while some of the features and the layout of the board are reminiscent of the Anytone AT-5555/CRT6900/Alpha Max AM-1000, this radio is definitely a whole new animal. The CRE 8900 is a brand new radio currently being marketed and sold in Europe by Univercom (France).

#HIGH AND LOW POWER SETTINGS FOR CRE 8900 MANUALS#
Over all, a decent 10m radio, but not drastically improved over the original Lincoln/2510 offer of several decades ago.41401 service manuals Liability Wil Manshande, nostatech en cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by using this website or any of the provided service manuals. Radio should be closer to $200 USD rather than $300, but that is more likely the fault of a weak US dollar. the internal speaker audio is not as good as it could be

I would like to be able to tune in 5 kHz steps, as well as the 1 meg/100kHz/10kHz/1kHz/100hz steps that are available I would prefer the tuning steps cursor be on a small button rather than be changed by pushing in on the VFO dial I would prefer the mode selection(AM/FM/SSB/CW/PA) be on a rotary dial (like on the original Lincoln/2510) rather than on the button which requires you to cycle through the modes volume control shuts audio off at "1" rather than "0" causing too high a volume level at it's minimum setting I have tried it in the mobile, and the noise blanker/ANL work well. The receiver is decent and quieter than the RCI-2950s I have owned over the years (and quieter than the RX on my President Grant II, but my Yeticom Optima is quieter than the Lincoln II). I appreciate President adding the CTCSS capability. It has good frequency stability, and the stock microphone provides very good transmit audio (very similar to my Astatic 575). I have an HR-2510 and I find the Lincoln II to be comparable in terms of functionality and receive. I've been running a Lincoln II v.3 for about 6 months and find it to be a good 10m radio. If they made it 6m-12 with continuous tuning it would be a much better product for use globally. I wish we could get RCI to cut the length of the RCI chassis in half and just split and double stack the board or do a remote mount where only the face plate was mounted on the dash the rest of the unit could be mounted out of the way. The YetiCom is too expensive and it's user interface is too cheap and clumsy to navigate through easily and intuitively. It obviously has to cost not more then the RCI2950DX.

I am still waiting for someone to make a compact chassis radio that is as good as the RCI 2950DX with regards to coverage, ease of tuning, and performance on AM and SSB. Overall I thought it was a step backwards not forwards. I also do not like the control panel it looks cheap and feels cheap to me. the best single final radio for SSB use ever built. The final version of the Lincoln which I still own and use had an MRF455 in it and it was prob. I was also disappointed with the low output. I kind of expected it to be at least as good as a chip-switched 2510 or Lincoln.

I am disappointed that they did not make it at the very least 10,11 and 12 meter able.
