I still have the 497 still sounding good was told the bird dummy load/meter read deadkey but not swing from modulation.50 watts DK is way to high to get any good modulation out of that radio. Those final mosfets will not last long at that level. You will be sending it back anyways so to stop the bleeding and think of it as a 70 max watt radio, divide by (4) to get the proper 1:4 ratio equals 15-17 watts DK for optimum modulation. Set it there...You can do it!
I'm consistently getting HiFi audio reports with just the Stryker 497 set with with a pinch of reverb running at 5-7 watts DK pushing a HD (4) 2sc2879 box and a good Turner +2 desk mic. Now the secret is out

Stryker SR-497 HPC Review
- Thread starter Jdb0367
- Start date
I run a Stryker SR-497-HPC in my big rig n I love it. I'm a Stryker fanatic now I'm buying either a SR 447 or a SR-497-HPC for my pickup truck, but I ain't decided yet
A friend of mine has one of these.
He paid a lot of money for it, but apparently that was because of the custom tune he got with it.
I asked him how good the tune was.
he said, "it's fine".

I have a Stryker SR-440 with a single pill final. I will have to pop the cover to see what the numbers are on it.
I am searching for advice on purchasing a new mic for my 497....seems no one can answer my question
