DM me if anyone has one they want to let go of. Thanks.

Bringing back an old thread with a complete different set up. Same vehicle. Same results. Running a Stryker 955 now, with a Wilson 5000 roof top hard mount in the roof. (04 GMC regular cab Sierra 4x4). Sanded the inside of cab portion of roof where the hard mount attaches. Everything is RG8X...

Great antenna. Only problem is they don’t like Oklahoma wind. I came home from work one day and mine was broken at the lower shaft. Coax was all twisted up and damaged before I could get it down. Sad day

What is a Puck

Update: Everything is back installed and up and running. SWR readings when it’s on is staying low, which I know isn’t a true swr reading rather then showing some reflect right? Anyhow, I hammered for about 15 min to some locals about 7 miles and 25 miles away and they said I jump about 2s...

In this video, to my ears the SRA sounds the best.

I like that the SRA has the PTT on the same side as most mics which the Stryker mic is in a weird place. However, sound quality is what I’m after. So PTT button locations aren’t super important.

Been looking at both of these mics for a noise canceling option in mobile. They both have good reviews. Has anyone got either of these mics currently in use? I know the last Astatic I bought was garbage from quality stand point. PTT switch was junk from the factory.

Still can’t believe I drilled through my roof.

Super Bowl Sunday update. Wilson 5000 roof top installed. Stock Wilson whip bottomed out in the load had around 1.5 swr on 1 and around 2 on 40 before tuning. Thought before I started trimming I would try a stock 58” K40 whip. Swr went to 1.1 on 40 and 1 flat on channel 1. So I locked it down...

The correct answer is no. It is not double skinned. Hole drilled fine. Now awaiting the box to see if everything will work out.

Today is the day to drill. Does anyone know if the roof of a 04 GMC Sierra regular cab is double skinned? If it is then that may cause quite a bit of problems.

Awesome. Thanks for all the input. No, I won’t be having a drink before hand haha. But I will post results afterward and see if everything is happy afterwards.

Thanks for all the replies folks. Sorry it’s been a couple days to reply. Still fighting this flu bug. Anyhow, before I had ever posted anything I was checking the amp with various levels of VP DK. Up to around 4-5 watts and as low as it would go at around a half a watt or so. Nothing really...

Nah. It was just a teaser. It started again on another drive. Back to square one.

This only takes place when the amp is powered on. When it’s off, everything works as it should. Turn it on and goes crazy unless I drive away from my house. Oh and by the way, when I get down the road, it doesn’t matter if I’m in transit or stopped. It just works.. get close to my house again...

Radio DK 1/2 watt with VR all the way down. Swings to 70ish. Again, I didn’t want this radio maxed out. I had the high drive built for this radio with intentions on keeping everything happy and cool. I’ve changed coax lengths between radio and amp, and amp and antenna, every way you can think...

Another thing. I did cut the coax from the antenna to a much shorter length today and soldered a good connector on. I had ran in a couple days with the long coax and after trimmed. Swr did not change one bit. And no change in amp results. Also tried Different lengths of coax from radio to amp...

Stryker 955, tuned for low DK and swings to factory rated spec, it’s not all cranked up, aligned, and amp is typical custom 2 pill HD. Let me say, thanks for all the advice. It’s good to see people responding to my problem and offering to help trouble shoot. Warms my heart that there is still...

I don’t have a dummy load. Only dummy load I’ve got is myself.
