    Has Anyone Here Dealt With Stryker Customer Service?

    I contacted them to have warranty work done a few months ago and it was a lengthy process because they are not very prompt when it comes to returning e-mails or phone calls. I have now been in communication with them since March 19th regarding an issue with the power meter and even though the...

    SWR fluctuates

    I have been running a 4.5 Francis with SWR readings of 1.2, 1.2, and 1.3 0n ch's 1, 20, and 40 respectively. Since I don't have the sense to leave well enough alone, I decided to try my Wilson 2000 on the same mount. When keying on ch 20, the SWR will reach around 2.1 and immediately drop to...

    Step away from the fuse holder

    A co-worker of mine was having trouble with fuses in his power cord repeatedly blowing so to remedy the problem, he increased the value of the fuse, 15 fold. On a positive note, the 30 amp fuse is alive and well.

    I bought a new 655 a few weeks back and have made a few attempts to make some adjustments using my home computer but with no luck. I have the proper USB from Stryker but I get an error message stating that I don't have the necessary drivers installed. Stryker rarely answers their phone and I...
