lincoln was the EU radio, 2930 i think was the US radio..
the 2510 had a couple of different controls, and the 2600 was 10mtr only and un able to be modded.

Doesn't exist as far as I know. What looks like a President HR2150 comes in a Uniden box and has a Uniden serial number label on the back.

The Uniden 2830 came out first in 1988 and was a massive £349 back then :o
The Lincoln came out later and is basically a bad engineering job made by Uniden for President Electronics in France.
As the Pimp said there where different model numbers marketed in North America and the States.
Just why they fetch such massive money on E-bay is a case is a mystery :?

You're right Otter :) I had one for 20+ years and I still never noticed that it said President on the front . Could have sworn that it said Uniden . That'll be the last time I try to comment on the Lincoln , 25XX, 28XX etc. :)
