With the exception of a variable power know and different colored buttons they are the same radio at heart.

Quarter dime and Lincoln are VERY similar. 2510 has RF gain and no varible power and the lincoln has a local/dx switch and varible power. The 2600 uses a different chip in it that can not be converted. You need a 2510 chip or the chipswitch to convert a 2600

They're VERY similar, but they aren't the same. They're the same basic radio, but the features are different.

My favorite is the 2600 because out of the box it has repeater capability and a tone board installed. It also has a switched RIT control. And no Roger Beep!

Someone who has a Lincoln can tell you what it's got that the 2510 doesn't. I do know that it's got an RF power control and apparently no variable RF gain control - a control that I consider very important.
