President Lincoln 2+ EXPORT MOD

What we know so far.....

Simon The Wizard gave us a first glimpse of the internals of the radio in EXPORT mode and his photos show an oversized resistor which is located where the white export wire was on the previous versions. This resistor looks like it has been added after production of the radio.

Meanwhile Dave M0OGY shows us a video of his radio in legal HAM MODE (10m+12m) and the resistor is missing from his radio.

Simon then posts a photo of him using the programming software....

...which clearly shows "TEST MODE 24.7150 - 30.1050"

So what do these clues mean? 

Well I don't have a Lincoln 2+ so I can't try anything out but I'm sure anyone with the radio could figure it out....

(By the way, you don't actually need the programming software to do the export mod!)

Icom IC-7300 - CB Band Optional?

Browsing through the RadCom magazine and I noticed this on the Waters And Stanton advert:

Yes! -  According to Waters And Stanton they offer the option of 60m or 11m on the new Icom IC-7300. Are they really promoting the use of Amateur Radio equipment on 11 meters????

Of course we all know that many radios can be modified to cover additional frequencies and many operators do indeed use Amateur Radio sets on 11m but if this is not a misprint/error this would be the first time I have seen an advert openly offering to modify a radio for use on non-amateur frequencies......
