Just curious to know, when one talks into the mic but hears a slight resonating buzzing noise from CB or AMP or body what is causing this? Overdriving? Over modulation? Someone once mentioned it may be the ferites in rig making noise.
Cheers
Just curious is he a member on here? I enjoy his youtube videos, but unsure who actually publishes these. On youtube there is a few members listing his videos, but unsure which one is the actual Rakish?
Anyone watched Netflix White Gold, season 1 episode 4 has some funny CB radio scenes in it. Made me laugh hard.
I could only find a smaller clip of it.
No matter how I try , the situation in unavoidable. I need a half decent antenna setup on my property, currently I use either a 11m dipole in attic ( HOA ) or the Wilson 1K magmount on my truck roof parked in the driveway.
I was thinking about renting one of those lifts, and getting a proper...
I remember when researching the forum that there was some posts about the Stryker 955hpc having a large voltage drop when keying the mic. Well, I also noticed this recently on mine. The volts on my home base setup was according to the Stryker display 14.1V, this dropped to about 12.5V or less...
Just a quick query, normally how long does it take for having a radio repaired with these folks in Fontana, Cal.? Which are RCI authorized.
Im in no rush to get my radio back, but was at least I was expecting a call back to discuss issues and concerns. Or at least some sort of feedback...
After only my first post with no responses,wonder why? But in anycase who gives a fu**. Out of interest any member on here admin that site? BTW, that was the second forum I would have joined after this one.
Was wondering if someone can be kind enough to explain the following situation to me.
With the 11m dipole connected to my Stryker 955 my SWR levels are 1.2 and 1.4 , ch1 and ch40 respectfully.
But with amp connected the SWR level increases to 2.2 and 2.5 and the 12v fans on my amp stand which...
Anyone have a diy or how to for upgrading the texas star 500v power cords? I would like to fuse delete and use some 8 AWG welding cables I currently have .
Would a 80W chisel type soldering iron suit or would a solder gun be better?
Cheers.
I set the dead key on the 955 stryker to bare min at first, it was deadkeying the ts500v at just under 100W. But swing was to just 250W or thereof pep. I adjusted the variable on the 955 to get a 100w DK on it now swings to 280W or pep. With 150W deadkey it swings to almost 400 pep.
Am I doing...
Im getting old and stupid(er) no doubt. Can someone please advise on how i can successfully connect my radio to the linear amp then to the swr/watt meter being last in the chain. I have two jumper cables.
The back of the amp has labels antenna and transceiver. Same with back of swr/watt meter...
My first attempt of recording locals talking on air, they all sound shit. Is it me or them? Muffled sounding . Funny thing is most nights one of them sounds okay but not this evening.
Would anyone know where I can send this unit for testing and calibration? According to the service manual, to be able to fully calibrate it would need 2Kw input.
Cheers
I was just wondering, does anyone sell or make a quick connect for the typical 3 pin CB power cords? I am asking this question since I dont feel it is appropriate to keep pulling on the back of the Stryker 955 to remove power cord , sometimes Id like to move it to my truck but mainly its being...
Just quick one, I dont use sideband as much as Id like to but noticed a probably anamoly in the S meter reading when using either LSB or USB on this radio.
I noticed when I unkey the mic in SSB modes , the Sig meter shows 2-3 bars of db all the time, it occurs everytime I unkey the mic. Even if...
Anyone see anything like this before? Looks like white powder inside is the LCD glass of the Stryker 955HPC.
I contacted Stryker and was told to use a blower to blow it out with compressed air, I looked at the assembly and it appears the area is pretty well sealed, difficult to blow it out with...
