I may be wrong, but I don't believe you can check SWR in SSB. How do you calibrate the meter in SSB? The power output varies from 0 to max as you speak. Set your antenna with a dead carrier and call it a day.

Hoping to contact a few from the site again. Some day!!

Tomorrow will be another day and I'll try a bit earlier, since, the U.K. is about 5 hours ahead of me.

More likely than not you're overdriving it. Back off your drive.

Aside from losing my voice it was a great day for DX. I hate getting hoarse!

Yup, I have a meter between the radio and amp, then one after the amp to the antenna. They are always active.

The entertainment value seems to escape me.

I was thinking more like having a fixed 4 pin connector going into the radio, BUT, it has a flat face with 4 circular contact rings where the second half of the connector case would have spring loaded pins that contact the rings. A center thumb screw would tighten the cases together when the...

I would even like to have a clockable 90° swivel for a mic connector as well.

Personally, I don't get the hype behind running 1/2" coax unless you're running 3kw or a 400' run. I've used LMR-240 for many years and have used 1500 pep through it without any issues. It only has 1db loss at 100' @ 27mhz and it's less than 1/4" diameter. I'm still using 240 today and see NO...

And it won't be over till it's over

We used to have a Ben Franklin store in town... or was it a Lincoln Plaza... I don't know. It Confucius me!

The good news is that Stryker is now designing, building and testing in-house. The near-future will not share the current tech as it is now. They're already building their own daughter boards for the new 955 models.

The good news is...there is another SSB radio in the works. That bad news is it's about the size of a Cobra 29. I can't elaborate on the features and asthetics right now. Also, there will be another NC mic from Stryker that will boast a dynamic element. Something to look forward to.

My buddy had a major issue with his Galaxy as it kept throwing a carrier on SSB. Didn;t know it until it smoked his Texas Star 250 one day when it threw a 16w dead key into it on SSB.

Camp Grayling is not in the UP. It's downstate at grayling, michigan in Crawford County. We used to have K.I. Sawyer up here.

I've got two son's in Green Bay, and a few grandkids and great grandkids.

I would strongly suggest the Stryker 955
