    Stryker SR-490 Meter turns RED

    stryker radios dont have a on/off for the swr warning ...the meter on the radio will FLASH when your swr is high.. as far as the meter goes you might be able to adjust the meter on the radio to match your bench meter ..i have 2 different strykers and they kickass..goodluck with the meter problem
