New Stryker SR-955HPC+
- Thread starter Eldorado828
- Start date
You need to install a small jumper on the underside of the board. If nobody else replies, I'll post a photo of mine here this weekend.
It's easy to do. Stu shows how he did it in this live stream below. Start the video around 2min mark.
Some people put a jump from top pad to bottom pad, both ways will work.
i use green in most radios i have unless its 1 color onlly. DO NOT OWN AN EYE BURNING BLUE LIT RADIO for same reason as you.
my eye dr aid blue is hard on everybodys eyes and might take years to see it. i told himmy pc hurt my eyes,said bring it to me next chance you get. i took it to him .5 minutes later what was blue turned mint green easy on my eyes. 1 of my bearcat 980 can only be seen via red screen too
Do not take this as an attack against you but you are the last person that should saying the above. That said I agree with you 100%. I thought you where rediculious for the modifications you had done to your Stryker955. To get to what 140w?
So why would you a guy with 140w+ modified Stryker955 purchase one of these?
I am expecting to see you with a nice shrine in your home with a Stryker 955 as the deity surrounded by candles and flowers and incense! LOL Maybe a lesser deity could be D-Rail holding a Stryker955 outstretched to the heavans! LOL
These latest versions of the 955 do not appear to me to be better than the origanal version. They definitely do not appear to be wortht he money compared to how much radio you can get from Anytone for far less money!
As always just opinions and humor on my part. I have never been a fan of the Stryker955, it's price, or chassing watts inside the chasis that wont matter in the end on the air. I will admit the origanal did have fantastic audio!
I have been saying this for years. Blue light also disrupts the quality of your sleep. Red and Green where used for decades not just because they could not make blue LED's but they knew those colors where not that hard on the eye's to look at, did not destroy night vision, and did not look like a metalic flake blue bass boat!
You don't know the rest of the story about the 955 with the beefed up finals that I HAD at one time. Those finals were a test and they turned out to be not suited for running an amp. Yes, they could be turned down far enough to drive it, no issues. BUT, they were extremely sensitive when keying into an amp as the split second it takes the relay to close is too much for them. They fail. I had them put the stock finals back in it and am still using that radio today. The 955+ still uses the original finals but they are volted to approx 20 volts to get them to put out up to 140 w PEP. As I said, I do not recommend that. I still have the radio they sent me for testing and I have it turned to 110 w PEP where it will stay. I run my current 955 at 10W carrier on AM, swinging to 45 to 50 PEP, and only 45 W pep on SSB. I never exceed these figures. As to your question about Stryker vs Anytone, I like the three year warranty of the Stryker, the SUPREME customer service, and the fact that I don;t have to punch through a shitload of menus and 20 button pushes to turn my mic gain up. A twist of the wrist makes me louder, and a tweak of my fingers changes modes. There are many more differences but I'm too old and lacking stamina to keep typing.

@ Geoexplorer69:Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
