No, the 5555's do not have the boost board.I'm not really familiar with quad 5 n2, does it have the booster board and do 100+ watts out of the box? If it does, then it's probably the same platform.

19VCan't remember which video on YouTube. The reviewer said the extra board is 20 volts to the finals.
19VDCOne note about the voltage booster board. On several videos, I have heard the comment that the radio will make full power on the stock power cord. No need for a bulky 10awg or 6awg cord, boosting the voltage to make power means less current draw. And that makes it super simple to replace an old radio.
Ps. I wonder what voltage it runs at?
Bigger numbers on the wattmeter. Bling marketing 101.The main "upgrade" for the 955 is the booster board which volts the hell out of the finals. I've had one of these for a few months now and have put it through it's paces. I find the radio talks well, has great audio quality and is easy to adjust. But, there is something I don't understand about this version.
After playing with mine I find that 120 pep is easy as pie, and 140 pep is possible with a bit of over modulation. I turned mine back to 110 pep.
I don't understand the thought process behind volting the finals when there are plenty of more powerful and rugged mosfets out there. Why beat the hell out of a transistor when there's one available that will give the extra output without beating it up. Can't be cost because they are now paying to have this new voltage booster board built and installed. Plus, no one will notice the difference between 80 watts and 100+ on the receiving end.
I'm absolutely NOT knocking Stryker over this, I'm just questioning the logic, or, lack thereof.
The Stryker firmware, is forked from the Anytone.BC- Stryker did some mods that improved on the design. Big enough to earn the higher value. They also have a longer warranty.
More than just bling. You need to look much deeper. Put all the clones on a bench and see.
They all START with the Qixiang (Anytone) SHORT chassis but the firmware changes make the difference.
My supplier- direct from the distributor. No middle man. Best price from a retailer I saw was $440.
Of course it is! Most any firmware mod is.The Stryker firmware, is forked from the Anytone.
