    New Stryker SR-955HPC+

    Those finals will run fine at the boosted voltage. It's well within the transistor's specs. There is no sence to push an extra 10 or 20 watts out when you are already at the 100w level. Get a high SWR for that one time oops and those finals will say, I'm out of here. I run mine stock to drive an...

    New Stryker SR-955HPC+

    You need to install a small jumper on the underside of the board. If nobody else replies, I'll post a photo of mine here this weekend.

    Channel encoder replacement?

    I use the Contour Design Shuttle Pro 2 (model S-PROV2) along with a simple TTL adapter I made for my frequency/channel selection on my Stryker 955HPC+. I'll have to think about selling it on Ebay I guess. What I'm still working on is addressing the Shuttle's buttons for control functions. A ham...

    I had one of those too just before the Stryker. Excellent radio. Nice with the 15 meter mod.

    Which newer radios have the best receive?

    BC, Clearly I do know they use the same HARDWARE board. I compared so many side by side. I thought that was clear? The BIG difference is the magic Stryker did in the firmware, it was not minor. Software/firmware mod is the future. You say the Stryker is excellent? OK, but I didn't say that. I...

    Which newer radios have the best receive?

    The noisy (white noise) RX in the Chinese made radios (Anytone based mostly) have been horrible. I went through a few model variants and dumped them all. They are fixable but no one bothered. They just throw that board in a new case. BUT, along came the Stryker SR-955HPC+. Stryker really did...

    Amp relay for Stryker SR-955HPC+

    I need to add a simple SPST relay to my new 955+ to key my Drake amp. I have the parts but want to find out where to pick up a 9-15 v TX line on the radio. Anyone know yet? I can't find schematics or the tech manual.

    Hustler Mobile HF for 11 meters.

    Superb antenna. Get the high power version. It offers wider bandwidth too. In the 70's we called them the gas pipe and beer can antenna.
