The President Lincoln II+ was a 10 meter and 12 meter amateur ham mobile radio from President Electronics, with AM, FM, USB, LSB, and CW modes and a full-featured multicolor display. That model has been discontinued by President Electronics. If you're shopping for a like-for-like President-brand 10-meter amateur ham radio, the President Washington 10 Meter Radio is the direct successor we recommend.

Recommended replacement: President Washington 10 Meter Radio

The President Washington 10 Meter Radio is the current-production President 10-meter amateur ham unit that fills the same role as the Lincoln II+:

• Same brand, same amateur band. President Electronics 10-meter amateur ham radio — same brand family and same operating band as the Lincoln II+.
• Multimode. AM / FM / USB / LSB — the full mode set 10-meter operators expect.
• Current-generation President platform. Active-production hardware, current warranty, current parts pipeline — not end-of-life.
• President accessory ecosystem compatible. Works with the President BT Mike Bluetooth microphone, DIGIMIKE, and other President 6-pin microphones you may have paired with your Lincoln II+.
• In stock at CB Radio Supply. Ships from our Indiana shop with the standard President accessory kit.

Why the Lincoln II+ was discontinued

President Electronics has rotated its amateur ham lineup. The Lincoln II+ served the 10-meter and 12-meter amateur operator for years; that slot is now filled by newer President 10-meter units, with the Washington as the direct successor. We keep this page live because drivers and hams still search for the Lincoln II+ by name — this way you land on the right replacement instead of a dead link.

Frequently asked questions

Is the President Lincoln II+ still being made?

No. President Electronics has discontinued the Lincoln II+. New stock is no longer produced. If you want a like-for-like President-brand 10-meter amateur ham radio, the President Washington 10 Meter Radio is the recommended replacement.

Is the President Washington 10 Meter Radio really a direct replacement?

Yes — same President Electronics brand, same 10-meter amateur band, same multimode capability (AM / FM / USB / LSB), and the same accessory ecosystem. It fills the same role as the Lincoln II+ and is on President's current-production platform, so warranty and service are current.

Will my Lincoln II+ accessories work on the Washington?

Most will, yes. The President BT Mike Bluetooth microphone, DIGIMIKE, and standard 6-pin President microphones all work on the Washington. Antennas are universal by connector standard — any 50-ohm 10-meter antenna you paired with the Lincoln II+ works on the Washington.

Do I need a license to operate a 10-meter amateur ham radio?

Yes. Operating on the 10-meter amateur band requires a valid FCC amateur radio license. A Technician-class license grants CW-only privileges in a portion of 10 meters; General class or higher grants full voice and data privileges on 10 meters. For details, see our 10-meter licensing guide.

What antenna should I pair with the Washington?

Any 50-ohm 10-meter antenna works. For the strongest all-around performance, the classic Hustler IC56 102" stainless whip is a gold standard. For a compact mobile install, the Stryker SR-A10 base-loaded antenna is a strong choice. Tune SWR under 2:1 across the 10-meter band after install.
