Thoughts on Stryker Radios
- Thread starter Groundhog KSS-2012

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.

Nope. Got the IRFZ24N in there. This thing is a beast. Still, I never exceed 100 pep with it. If I need more I use the amp. Having that overhead is always good.
It's already been said and said again. AM/FM/SSB >> SR955 or go cheap and be sorry later.
Proud owner of SR955 and kicking myself for going cheap early; I've shelved the SR655. Boxed up and ready to ship
It was into the shop for a new front face, bezel and displays. The left side metering display mysterously fogged up. Meter not replaceable alone. Had it tuned while it was on the bench. Got it home and it went straight to the self. 1W dead key capable.
Another consideration is VFO mode. You want it, along with SSB. And that lame band selector switch; poo poo. How many bands are you going to spin the dial for? There isn't one for Buckethead, nor Alan Jackson The SR955 has a single Band slide switch and use the Freq. knob to change Band. I've no idea how many Stryker models are programmable. Get the Stryker software, manipulate the various parameters, more than can be done manuelee, very quickly. I've got a special roger beep programmed for 111111...111 interferrence.

You can buy one from CB World for $389.00 and do that yourself.

Don't find a lot of info on the "upgrade". Just swap them out and re-bias? Just the finals or all 4?
Thanks

And that keeps him off the air and keeps him from doing that ? If so that's great !

Get the 955, the 955hp isn't worth getting, the boards are really thin and have a tendency to crack if bounced around in the mobile, friend of mine has both and had to send in the 955hp twice to be repaired.
