When I mess with it next, I am going to remove those and test them. I do believe this radio spent a lot of time on, but not transmitting. It was installed as a base years ago.
It's not coming from the radios speaker. The squeal is in the transmit rf audio. I put the radio on the air and listened through a SDR. Funny thing is you can key the radio and it puts out a clean carrier, it's only after it gets a small amount of audio in the mic that the squealing starts. It...
I recently acquired for free, a Teaberry T Bear radio. It had no audio RX and TX. I found a few bad solder joints and after re-flowing them I got the RX and TX audio working. Now whenever I key the radio (dummy load) it is quite until I give it any audio at all then I get a squeal that sounds...
I sometimes run JS8 call on 11m. A few times now I have shut down my radios (power supply disconnected from wall), but my SignaLink is still on. Yesterday I left for work and still received a whole bunch of 11m meter activity. A couple of weeks ago I had no radios on my desk and just the...
I just put a new front bezel and display PCB in my old 955, I forgot how much I liked using this radio. Besides tons of voice contacts, I have worked some of Europe and Australia with JS8Call and SSTV with this radio as well.
Yeah I "heard the turd" on 38lsb yesterday, bashing his usual suspects. Not too good of a signal though, amazing how a stock Stryker 955 sounds like a stock 955 when there's no amp behind it.
Don't buy it, I bought one and it's terrible. I saw it on a scope and it's not AM or FM, if looks like it's doing both at the same time no matter what the modulation setting is, and it was off frequency. Go for the President Randy, they have an AM/FM model now.
Does anyone know of a better replacement than Stryker's part to fix the encoder? My old 955's encoder is almost unusable. I could buy one from Stryker for $10 and replace it, but if anyone has any suggestions for a better part I am all ears. Thanks.
I use that same setup for JS8Call and ROS sometimes. It works well. Keep your digital mode TX around 10w, if you go too much higher you will get a hot radio and splatter. I have a fan behind it blowing on the radio when I do digital stuff.
