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.
