I searched with google but found nothing. QT60-PRO/AT-5555II PRO VS Stryker 955

[Onelasttime]

So outside of power output I was woundering if anyone has done a head to head with the two radio's in terms of TX audio mostly but also all other parameters?

I am never going to purchase a Stryker 955 due to price point alone.

I am going to assume that the Stryker 955 has better AM audio and greater output power. The QT60-Pro is not going to magicaly out perform it just because I own one! LOL I am not that guy! I am just intersted how they compare head to head. I understand the QTY60-PRO has far more features.

Thanks!

I know the Stryker costs more $$$, But personally, I think the traditional controls are worth the bucks. I literally hate the tiny push buttons on my Quad 6 PRO. Regardless, they're both great performers. 73, Mi Amigo.

Not quit what I was hopping for! LOL Thanks though. The AI answer on google was not any better.

I was wanting a more human level of input from practical experince and or technicians setting up both for customers etc....

I am mostly wondering about the AM and SSB audio between the two.

For the record even though I am not a Stryker 955 fan boy I have always conceded that it has great AM audio very powerful and punchy! It also does stupid power for what it is! It has always been the crowded controls that are almost impossible to use while actual driving a vechile combined with price I have taken issue with. I have never had anything negative to say about it's actual on air performance! They sound great on air!

I don't know if this helps. Yeah the 955 is pricey. I'll take the newer QT80 over the 60. The 80 has a bit more power, improved features and the 8pin round solid mic plug vs. the 60's modular plug that I don't like at all.

My brother has been running the QT80 for a base about a month now and is happy with it, it sounds just as good as his Kenwood on TX in back to back on air comparisons.
That surprised me.

This hobby lacks a dedicated website and youtube channel that compares radios besides showing off each radio features. You try to look up Stryker 955HPC+ on youtube only to be flooded with places like TrucksCBSales tuneup report videos. Lets look at watt meter as if that's the only thing that matters.

 

[jdchet]

FWIW......I have found the 5555NII to be a very easy radio to work while mobile. The 955 does have the familiar "old school" controls but are too close together IMHO. The NII controls are actually easier to deal with mobile. Squelch, Rf gain, clarifier and Rf power are easy to reach without knocking another setting out of wack like the 955. I've had my NII for about 3 years and it has performed flawlessly. I still have my 955v1 but it sits at home due to lack of built in DSP noise reduction (I do have a West Mountain DSP speaker but don't need it with the NII) As far as the mic jack on the NII, I have had no issues while using a readily available adapter for 4 pin mics. The 955 does have better audio than the NII. For the money.............NII all the way!

Well, maybe this is your calling?
Get a shop, a video system set up and dive in feet first. Sounds like something I would watch.

One feature of the 955 that I really like is the noise gate for tx instead of noise reduction.

So help me understand the difference. I thought they were the same feature but named different for the branding. I'd like to be educated on it.

Ok, so basically a noise gate cuts out the background noise. But only if the background noise is lower than your voice. It sets an audio threshold so any audio below the limit is not going to be allowed. Kind of like a squelch control on RX. Audio above the threshold goes in and hopefully you cover up the noise with your voice. Where this really shines is when you have a fan on your amp, the noise gate turns the audio off between words.

The noise reduction for TX is just like RX. As you start talking, the DSP has to dial you in for a second. Great for if you have a lot of loud background noise. Might help if you are driving with the window down. Maybe.

Hey thanks, I didn't know that about the Stryker. Interesting and I can see where that could be a benefit. So the 5555 plus and it's clones I believe have the noise gate you speak of but I may be wrong. Good stuff, I learned something.

I got the QT60 Pro for $204 the QT80 would have been $100 more. Gone are the days of getting an AT-6666 for $249 or less off ebay.

The QT80 Pro offers a lot that is for sure! I doubt it get's you any closer though to the Stryker 955 audio as compared to the QT60 Pro though.

The dual VFO and 15m is of greater value to me than the extra power. I am a strong believer in external amplifier to get the power out I want. Truth be told I would rather have less power and a more durable bipolar final.

I am definetly a value shopper. Bang for my buck means more to me than absolute performance. The extra $100 to step up to the QT80 Pro is not worth it to me. It would need to give me far more than it does for that extra $100. I also like the larger display on the QT60 over the QT80 all things being equal. I also like the color of the display I absolutely hate blue displays. I am also not a fan of multiple colors when none of them are what I actual want which is either a soft warm orange or red.
