Ha Ha, you are probably right. All down to timing, When the first Lincoln came out I was moving away from CB and onto amateur radio. I only came back to CB just over 2 years ago.

Re: Magnum 257 Vs Lincoln 1
Well you've still got time then
My Lincoln is my main radio in the shack just now. I know they're nothing special, but it gives me easy use of both 10 and 11m with no messing about.

Re: Magnum 257 Vs Lincoln 1
The Lincoln 1 is decent enough, but as it has the MC3357 for FM and it is only single conversion on AM it is pretty obvious that it was built down to a cost.
In practice they work well enough, but there are plenty of others which will out perform it. I remember a while back I had a Galaxy Pluto which worked better than my Lincoln in everything apart from frequency stability as it warmed up...

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.

I have both radios and wouldn't part with either...The 257 or in my case Albrecht 485 always gets great transmit audio reports.

Re: Magnum 257 Vs Lincoln 1
I found the Lincoln a little deaf compared to the SS-360FM and a lot worse at picking out weak stations out of the noise than the Magnum.
The Magnum has the L1 beaten in every area apart from build quality IMO.

Re: Magnum 257 Vs Lincoln 1
My brother owned both also. His 257 though was a first production blue light job and he said it wasn't as well made as the 485.Phoenix wrote:I have both radios and wouldn't part with either...The 257 or in my case Albrecht 485 always gets great transmit audio reports.
Can anybody vouch for that?
I'll pay whatever i think it's worth...:-)

Re: Magnum 257 Vs Lincoln 1
Same radio same factory..If both were second hand the buttons on the bottom seem to wobble a tad after a few years use, i wonder if thats what he thought was the issue..both cracking radios
