I'm an old CB'er that got out of it back in the 70's my last radio was a black face Johnson, I'm back now with a The Stryker SR-955HP and lovin it. I put mine on blue because it drives my wife nuts. 73's

[@RealWoutLies]

Dad has a Johnston Messenger, with a telephone set. I recall talking to Texas from Tennessee on that radio.

[@AdamosDad]

@@RealWoutLies That is a cool old radio, and it sounds like you have a cool old man.

[@ogiejii7885]

I ran across a BF Johnson on eBay the other day, just one. Seems like everybody had that or a white face, 45 years ago. I have an old Regency Romper 6 channel I bought in 1975. It hasn't been powered up in 40 years. I'd be afraid to at this point. There's a crystal socket on the face and I had a bag of transmit crystals that are long gone. It was vfo receive / crystal transmit. Ive been thinking about having it restored. Right now it's just a display boat anchor.

[@ROT4RYfc3s]

I just made the jump and purchased a peak and tuned Stryker 955HP finally. I'm coming from a Bearcat 880, which was good for a place holder and entry level radio. I only got my Stryker yesterday but it's a million times better night and day difference. First time I ever got a "loud and clear" on a radio check.

I love your advice on power... I have a Galaxy 88 hl with an Astatic 575m6... I let it swing at 25 watts... I've had it since 2001, absolutely no effort on the radio... if I need power, I run it at 3 watts into a 4 pill... common sense! Not working it hard, I'll have this 80's designed radio for the rest of my life and always sound big!

How about running this on an Astron Power Supply (13.8v 30a Swithcing versus Linear) power supply with Anderson Powerpole connectors and 10 guage wire? Do you bridge the + to increase path? How about using a 4,700uF cap?

Hey Bud, recently saw your video on how the voltage effects the amount of power the strykers put out. What is the highest voltage you would feel safe with?

15

[@TheHayabusa09]

Great review! I'm in a job that requires perimeter security, driving around in my own car; it's a smallish 4 door sedan. Would I be able to use this unit and if so, what type of aerial would I need? Need to be discreet. No huge antennas. Thanks for any info.

[@dr3wrocks]

It’s pretty hard to have a discreet antenna for CB, they generally need to be at least a few feet long.

[@RealWoutLies]

Get you a cobra classic and 4 ft glass. It'll do everything you need.

[@ronfinkbonner14]

Cool thanks

[@09DARKORANGEJK]

I get confused with this stuff. I’ve always played with cb’s and currently have a cobra 29 with a large final upgrade. Works nice but this radio has all the bells and whistles and I’m thinking of getting one. Everyone always says 4 watts is the legal limit but you can buy these radios with much more. How is that? Am I a dumb ass for asking 😂?

[@countryfriedgamer15o]

I think a lot of people don't care what is legal, just because you can buy something doesn't mean you are legally allowed to. Whether you Peak and tune a cobra 29 or buy an export radio that does 50+ it isn't legal. If you're unfamiliar with the export radios, they are 10 meter radios modified to work on 11 meters aka citizens band. These are not technically cb radios, it literally says on the box 10 meter. In order to operate a 10 meter radio legally you need a ham license and even with that you still can't legally modify them to work on citizens band. It states in the FCC rules that CB radios are not to be modified to produce more power than how they came from the manufacturer. Most cb radios stock will only produce 5-7 watts pep which is only a little over. The legal power of 4 hasn't changed but most cbers dont operate on just the legal power, if you are caught doing more than it's a hefty fine plus they confiscate your equipment. Luckily though the FCC doesn't pay that close attention to the little guys who just peak and tune their radios or buy these export radios pushing 100 or so. They mostly go after the big dogs pushing thousands of watts. Unless you are operating one of these export radios on 10 meter ham band and you anger the other ham operators and they report you. I personally would not advise talking on anything other than the citizens band with these radios. It's just like a driver license if a cop pulls someone over without a license and doesn't do anything about it we would be pissed. Because we took the test road with an instructor to be able to drive and yet people that haven't are free to drive as well. That's the way I think a number of ham guys feel. Depending on the guys in your area, they may not care but some do.

[@09DARKORANGEJK]

@@countryfriedgamer15o yea, thanks for the info. I know what you mean about big dogs. I’m in PA and there is a guy there I can still hear in Delaware. Then lately there has been a guy coming over in PA that claims Arizona. I’ve personally heard him in PA, Delaware, NJ, and NY.

[@parsifal_7784]

Very cool

[@CrispyBon1]

Comparison to the Stryker 955htc? Looking to buy one for my dump truck don't really care about side band long as it gets out and receives well. Price point is around $200 difference wanna get most bang for my buck 🙂

[@Rooster_Radio]

Sideband is the only difference

[@Mason-RRC]

Okay, to be clear….. If I am going to run this radio with no amp, what would be the best setting for the variable power?

[@Rooster_Radio]

20 watts deadkey

[@DC-uq9vy]

Can this be run in a company truck without with your basic 12 volt hook up ? Or is this more like a bay station radio . Would like to have a nice radio that can get out a few miles. In these WVA mountains

[@Rooster_Radio]

Yes very rare to cause issues with just the Radio

[@danmclellan1088]

Would this work with my 4' firestick antanna in my jeep wrangler.?

[@stevesmith2089]

Yes I got this exact radio and the Stryker sr-a10 antenna the other day and all the videos I see are in 27.00 an up in the 27 mine is in 28.6900 on channel 19 and I’m wondering how do I or can I get it down into the 27. Range because I’m not getting out or picking anyone up I also purchased the Stryker noise canceling mic to put on it instead of the mic that came with it

[@chipperfluffy]

It has to be converted to an 11 meter from 10

[@09DARKORANGEJK]

Rooster I have a question for you. The power meter on the radio does that show average power or peak?

[@Rooster_Radio]

Supposed to be peak, how accurate it is is a different question

[@09DARKORANGEJK]

@@Rooster_Radio yea I’ve always been told they’re not very accurate. I’m asking because I just picked up a 655 and it was advertised as 80 Watts But the meter only shows it 20-30

[@Rooster_Radio]

@@09DARKORANGEJK if it's stock and you have the rf power turned down that's very possible

[@dakkadakka9189]

I'd look at the speaker/ speaker connections that's best case scenario

[@davldbradley6073]

As you called it bands look like a 5 position switch. I don’t know anything about that radio. And was just curious about that switch I’m sorry about not getting it. I’ve have an old 29 peaked and tricked out about 10 years now and thinking about getting one of these from you. But the five bands as you called it is still unclear, please give me some ideas of what it is for and we have some deals to do. I need to have them peaked out and maybe some toys for the guys to play around with. Let us know what you think about my offer and we will do some business together. I will also need some good antennas for the same. Thanks Dave St Petersburg Florida. Will be checking for you’re response. Do you take any trades in. Not a big problem if not.
