CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO CONVERT STRYKER 497.DOES NOT HAVE THE 3 PINS AND JUMPER.THANKS IN ADVANCE
 

hey nitro ...i don't know myself but this guy seems to be well liked by some on the forum ...its a starting point i guess CB Radio - DTB Radio's Front Page
can't speak for him personally but his name is mentioned a few times around these parts good luck .... i know there is a website somewhere that shows the conversion but i can't find it for the life of me ....ran across it over a year ago or so ....they had everything from the conversion to the dimming of the lights good luck
 
I haven't had one of the radios without the pins yet but when I get my hands on one I'll do a video showing how to jump the solder points, unless someone else on the forum can do a video on theirs. I'd be happy to post the info up on the site for people.

Was just wondering if you could post up the solder points for the newer 497's. There is no info that I have been able to find for the newer versions of this radio.
 
To those who have ordered a newer version of this radio the conversion is the same, just a bit harder. The 3 pin jumper has been removed and in its place a very small switching diode has been put in place. All that needs to happen in a quick unsolder and move the diode over and you have converted your radio to an 11 meter rig. I'll try and post up a pic of what we did to convert it for anyone interested.
 
Its the same spot as the jumpers go here is a before

Anytime glad I could finally help out. random thoughts today were that all that is needed there is a jumper of some sorts. Re-using the diode or whatever that really small thing is is most likely not needed. If the radio goes back to my tech we are going to take that jumper out and redo it so that the area is cleaner, that little jumper that comes installed is a bugger to solder back into place.

You can see the little jumper just move it to cover both pins. This is on the newest models of 449 and 497 strykers. Good luck, very good radio
