So do I go with a very low SWR under 1:1:1 with the 5000 mag mount at the rear of the 4 Runner (about 4 inches from the tailgate top) or mount it center and have a 1:4:1 swr.
RUNNING A 4 PILL AMP.
I came from a Predator 10K with a 22 in. bottom shaft so the reflection was not a problem with...
With my Predator 10K antenna what will the coil spacing between turns as well as the overall coil length effect when altered.
I used to be R-50 X-0 but now am R-58 X-0 and am wondering if my touching up the coil spacing has affected the readings.
Hit a low branch and the coil was shoved...
I am about at wits end. I have ordered coax with terminal ring connectors and both times the coax was unusable.
What I need is 18 foot RG8X polyvinyl with one end PL259 and the other end two ring terminal. This will mount to a Predator mount with terminal fitting.
I have tried my self to...
4 2sc2879 transistors, converted Twister am, was a 1x4 now straight 4 pill with bias.
From the spec sheet I see the 4 pills need around 20 watts drive peak to saturate.
Using a Stryker 440hp running at around 3 watts dk seeing around 20 peak with mic cut back to get this peak number...
What would be a good combo for a Export radio with a 4 pill amp (2879)? I would want a slug for reflect too. Last test the amp did 620 43P watts with a clean radio driver. I would like to be able to measure just the radio a Stryker 440hp as well as the amps output. Money is a factor so I need...
Now I am thinking I should wait to see what the new series will be. I have played this game before with the first Stryker 440hp radio. Hell for that matter I am still waiting for their SSB radio, ha ha.
I think I need and AM first with a good quality SSB function. I like the package with the...
I previously had a Corbra 148 GTL Philippines built and a Black face President Jackson.
Since I have been strictly AM.
Thinking about getting back into side band. I have a Styker 440 now for AM.
What are some of the top dual mode radios available now.
The 148 was solid without drifting the...
I used to see R50 and X0. Now I can only get R57 and X0. I can adjust a bit to get a R53 X5. Which should I go with.
I get very small reflect on the cheapo meter at the R57 X0 spot, maybe 1/5 of a watt at 150 DK
Antenna is a predator 10K comp mounted via magnet mount on a 4 Runner.

Never did send in the first shipment Stryker, to have the channel readout fixed. Seemed to have fixed itself about 3 months ago, hasn't jumped channel since.
Having gotten into a different Peterbilt I don't have the 5 S units of RFI under acceleration that I once had. This a great...
It will read 17 but not be on channel. I can mess with the selector a bit and get the channel back, but it's a pain in the arse.
Maybe dirty switch, or is the selector burned or wore out on that channel.
Does it on the two most used channels, 2 and 17.
Any ideas for a do it yourself fix!!
Are you still planning on coming out with a higher powered am/fm radio? If so might when the release be? And what power level?
Thanks Shawn for any information.
As a side note I want to let it be known that Stryker radio ( Shawn ) agreed to fully warranty one of his radios.

With my two most accurate I am seeing between 6 and 8 watts DK. Stryker says 10 to 12 max. I know my meters aren't as accurate at the 10 watts scale. Just wondering what others are seeing!
Are you running amp in the truck. I assume it's electronic motor, Cat? I got the ACert C15. What have you heard about running say a 4 pill in these new trucks with all the electronics?
Please anyone else with information please respond..Thanks
Oh Ya another great idea from the suits at the design table.
New Peterbilt 379 tractor and trailer and tubes. Has two 4 foot wound fiberglass antennas. No Stereo radio antenna!
Instead a converter of sorts. The antennas recieve both CB signals and stereo signals.
Anyone know how...
I read awhile back a mod to help lower the noise level. Had to do with unhooking the antenna and backing down a reciever alinement pot ( ? ) .I did the mode and it helped. I lost my notes and can't remember the pot number. I think it was DTB that wrote the thread, but can't be sure. Any help...
