Yes mine is wrapped in cellophane tape.. So I figure it is a new radio but I could be wrong!

I don't know. This is too strange.

Hopefully they won’t turn to shit like some of the others. But this is my last Stryker for a while..

 

[Greg T]

Well, I have a V1 and a V2 so I'll be okay. I am parting with my Yaesu, though. Might be a mistake.

Something I just noticed tonight. These upgraded finals must take a few hours to burn in. Suddenly, I'm now getting nearly 150 PEP out of this radio.

Getting ready to blow!

Damn that does sound kinda high!!

Like @nomadradio says, it affects the KBK number. (Key downs Before Kaboom)

I was thinking that something let loose, I have no idea what. Like the impedance of something changed on the audio drive, or output match?

I dont know. Didnt touch anything. Just checking output the other day so I could power up the amp and noticed it. I never run it that high anyway, but thought it was strange.

Shawn sent me an email saying that the radio that I was sent is a new radio. Hmm. IT still has the blue painter's tape around the bezel and a Tiny's CB Shop sticker on top of the radio. I looked inside the radio and on the bottom cover reads "Tiny Bit tuned 5-11-22." The exact date that I had Tiny tune my radio.
Someone is lying. I sent him a message asking that exact same thing. Can't wait to see what he says.

I wouldn't mind getting a couple of these as refurbished once they get it sorted out.

I assume you originally purchased from Tiny's? How does it perform now? Anything different?

 

[undertaker]

Can’t wait to hear this excuse!!

Could it be they just swapped the main board? Maybe that is what they mean by new radio?

That's what I thought they would do, but they told me I would receive a new radio. I'm going to have to check the serial numbers, now.

EDIT: Mine is a different radio. Last 4 digits of what I sent in was 1251 and the replacement is 0568. So I received an older radio. I do believe they're pulling them from dealers to replace faulty units.
