Stryker 655HP. Good radio tuning vs bad radio tuning. Does your cb shop know what they are doing??

- Comparison of two Stryker 655 hp’s I own. One was tuned by roadstar188, the other tuned by Lou’s Cb in Bridgewater Ma. Red radio is the roadstar Unit, dirty and noisy. Purple radio is Lou’s. The Lou radio is pushing 50 watt dead key with up to a 90 watt swing. Personally watched him run on the meters. Both radios are using fire stick 5 footers. You listen and decide...

Been a customer of Lou’s for almost 30 years! Actually stopped in his shop today to see whats new and he told me about this video. Sounds nice!!
A 50 watt Dk is way too high for that radio!!!
I had a old cobra 148gtl tuned up by him and have been enjoying it. I'm struggling trying to talk myself out of getting that same radio you have or the anytone 6666. Keep posting the videos I've subscibed and enjoy the content.
I have bought two radios from Lou! Today 3/19/19 I picked up the SR-655HP!! He is the man no doubt. The 1st one was a cobra lcd29. Both are great radioes, but the SR-655 is better. He told me about your video...
Lou seems to know his stuff. It sounds good. I got mine from MC Electronics in Grand Island and loving it. Sounds just like Lou's. I don't get over to the east at all, but will keep Lou in Bridgewater MA in mind if I need some stuff done and happen to be in the area!
Damn, totally night and day difference. I'm getting lou to do my next one for sure.
Different 🎙 going to make a difference. I run a 655 with a ranger 🎙 big difference in sound. I also run a Stryker antenna in my semi and a 102 whip in my pickup. My SWR is 1:2 on all channels in my semi and 1:1 in my pickup
I have a rk56 and on my sr447hpc2 have to have my external speaker across the cab and wrapped in two micro fiber towels to keep the feedback from bleeding through! Mic is about 14 yrs old and kept in my garage for a while! Thinking of buying a new one to see if that helps with feedback
my last yrs in service at Ft Devens.. 2013- i had Lou tune my radio..lol .. i didnt realize that many people knew him..
Your Stryker sounds amazing 😊 what mic you got?
I have a magnum s6 radio, my frequency counter jumps up and down repeatedly any suggestions on what it could be, it was keyed up for a few secs each time mabye 4 or 5 times... then the problem started with the frequency counter...any help would be appreciated!
I run the same radio in my f350. And an SR497hpc in my Peterbilt
Yeah, those strykers are very well receiving and low noise floor radios.
I couldn't believe the trash that you were receiving with that miss tuned radio.
I can't believe somebody would go in there and fool with the receive in that styker. Whenever I buy a stryker, I tell the tech to not screw with my receive.
I see the radio is sitting on the dash. Does the sun create any issues? I have a 5th gen Ram and install space is very limited.
On the blue radio you're using the factory speaker that's facing right into your dashboard
Yup, he's full of shit.
One of the radio guys that does tuning etc. on radios and he says that out of the box they can vary in power by quite a bit. So I wouldn't be surprised if the radio you had wasn't misaligned or out of tune but I guess that's why you pay someone to tune what they can. Thanks for the video I hope everything goes well for you. Maybe send that old one to Lou for a check-up?
I wish I got up that way to see him more often.
Filmed in flowery branch? That’s just down the road from me
Why didn't u just have the other re tuned? If you did or do I would love to see the video
I love my 447 stryker
Two different radios in two different vehicles might have a little something to do with the noise difference.
One truck aluminum one Steel. Same configs and Same antennas
@@VICLIFE3DBL00H gotcha
Can you tell me how you have your radio mounted on your dash? Asking for a friend..😊
Brother I stayed right around the corner from that guy he ended up closing do you know how to get in touch with him I’m currently in Springfield right now
the one in the dodge you don't have the ANL on the ford you have the ANL on it takes the noise out I like the Stryker 955 better it has SSB i like talking skip you can talk to all over the states when skip in it comes in different places but it fun and SSB talks lots fother local and quieter
What mic do you use ? Stock one?
How did you mount that radio in the ford?
I’ve had radios from Allan Ward aka RoadStar. He is NOT a radio tech! He is a hack shop!
I got my Stryker 655 hp tuned in Bow New Hampshire 💯💯Lots of Power and distance very quiet I just can’t install my bulky Stryker antenna on this new 2019 Cascadia Freighter but I’m really looking for a longer antenna to install on my truck my tune box is running along with it and the SWR is maximum a little past 2 what should I do?
Berubes?
A friend of mine he fixes all my radios he is also a amateur radio operator he has his extra class license when something is wrong with my radios he comes and takes them to his house and he works on them and he doesn't change me anything to fix them
that does sound like good clear output but as far as the ground floor noise it sounded to me like the auto squelch was turned on the second radio. that would explain why there is absolutely no aref ground-floor noise. I'm not trying to say I'm correct and that you were wrong or anything like that I'm just saying what it sounded like to me. mine sounds the same way when the auto squelch is on
What’s funny is the one from road ranger blew out the finals
You still loving the lou's radio? What did you use to tune the swr's?
Used the built in Meter and double checked it with a external one
You're using an external speaker without echo on the red radio
Do you have the number for lous cb shop
cant truly do a comparison unless you hook both radios up in the same vehicle to the same antenna system.
I can’t lol someone explain it to him
Here's the problem I have with your demonstration between the 2 radio's. Your not showing that your using the same external speaker. The quality of sound might be different because of that. And for the background noise coming out. You could've adjusted that to clear it up in the other radio. You also have the radios in 2 different trucks. The antan system and setup are different from one truck to the other. I have this exact same radio.
This is only my opinion. I don't know you or even the other people you were talking about in this video.
Same antennas mounted in same place with same cables. And yes one radio was tuned differently this is the reason for posting the video. To show a good tuned radio vs one that isn’t tuned well. Congrats you have now wasted both of our times with this stupidity
Dave White well how about you come to Atlanta and help me get unlost. Everyone is a big keyboard warrior till they get called out
also he had is ecco on in the second test and that will make a big defference in talk back sound
The reason the radio sounds better is because you have your echo board switch turned on in the stryker from lou and that other cb you had the echo turned off and echo know turned down... not trying to pick a fight or call you out I'm just saying the reason that radio sounds better is because your echo is turned on and the other radio it isn't
@@claytonhenning1575 also doesn't say anything about the RF gain being the same either. I've got a 955, and it will sound the same as both of those on the incoming depending on the weather and how much I have the RF gain turned up.
I wish I could find someone who could do that good around the central USA I have a 655hp it doesn't sound that good.
There’s plenty of shops on the interstate
@@VICLIFE3DBL00H not that I trust
Lou does better work than Allen Ward at Roadstar.
Most def.
You can't tell anything about how a radio sounds based on listening to talkback. Just saying.
Receive on the one in the Ford definitely sounds better.
I'm new
Is Lou's still in business?
I heard he retired. But is still working on radios if you know who to call
I just ordered one from lou last week. He is still in business
Just think use a 102 whip u really get out
How do I find Lou’s ?
I found him on Facebook
First off when you key up and say BRAKE 19 when no one's talking most dont pay you any attention , who are you breaking?
Your mom.
I don't like the idea of depending on some random driver in some random location on random equipment to respond to your request for a radio check. Not very scientific
Lol ok, since you know a real world test is the best way to test your radio. Bench test is a joke, get the radio out in the real world and see what it can do.
@@VICLIFE3DBL00H How do you know how the radio sounds when a random person says, "Its working, driver"? You really don't know
@@timin770 haha
I thankfully have a local cb tech who tunes radios to TALK GOOD rather than have the most watts. I just bought a new galaxy 959 from him that talks crystal clear clean 👍. 32w pep and 16w bird average ( which is fantastic avg power for single final radio!). I get constant compliments on how loud and crystal clear it is. I couldn't be happier!
When I watch road star videos it's pretty clear he's a turn the power up at the expense of clear audio. Many of them are that.
My local guy is Truckscbsales.com. he's in Glasgow Kentucky. He has a good web site and answers any question you have and quickly. The local base station guys around here also have nothing but good things to say about him. So if your favorite guy is busy or something and you need another one you can trust give trucks cb sales a holler 👍😎. I don't buy from anybody else . He has UA-cam channel too showing all his work.
