www.cbradiomaga... - This is an overview of the new Stryker SR-955HP SSB radio. The Stryker SSB radio was just released in May 2012. It features AM/FM/USB/LSB operation, 60-80+ watt output (depending on tune). The radio is also software programmable using the supplied USB cable and the Stryker software. This radio should be available on-line or at a CB shop near you.
It seems the only reason stryker made the frequency lock a resistor was to get past regulations while allowing users to have a high power CB. You have to love them for that.
Why do you remove the resistor?
@@richardbaker_0086 Doing so unlocks the CB frequencies.
When I did the frequency expansion mod in Nov, 2019, the board actually had an arrow pointing to the resistor.
I just want to let everyone know that if you know how to plug in a soldering iron you can easily remove this resistor in 5 seconds or less. It helps to have a small pointed iron, but it's really not necessary. It is not difficult unless you cannot see. Just make sure you only heat the contacts on the 1 resistor. Very simple job. Remove 4 screws from the bottom cover, heat the resistor & push it sideways while heating until it slides away. Put the screws back in & you are all set. P.S. The newer radios have a small, white, arrow pointing to the resistor right on the circuit board itself. Very user friendly. Thanks STRYKER for an amazing radio.
Thanks mate,73s,siôn.
Can you please send me some instructions on how to plug in a soldering iron.😂😂😎

Best review on the internet, thanks! I've had this radio for about two weeks and it is wonderful... as long as it stays working. The first week was spent as a base station while I got used to it. I have been into radios for 28 years and this is most certainly the nicest culmination of "digital with an analog feel" that I've experienced so far in an export radio. I've had Galaxy 99V's in all of my vehicles for many years and I've finally found something I feel confident replacing them with. The receive is superb on all bands and noise rejection is stellar. The receive didn't seem overly sensitive to me. Compared to a Galaxy 99V, a Cobra 148F and a Magnum 257HP in the same vehicle the Stryker 955 had the quietest receive by far. Next best was the Galaxy. Something to note, the Magnum 257HP was so noisy I had to take it out after two days. Any type of city driving was unbearable. Did I also mention that this radio is beautiful? Very easy to read, nice even coloring of your choice, no real bright spots. Lovely! Thanks again for the review and keep up the great work!!
Cant agree more with blend of digital and analog. I love my SR-655, my favorite. Ordered a SR-955 today.
Have but yet to install. Wanna use 955 as base but good power supplies are stupid expensive!!!! Even the cheap ones are gross!!!
Great job 👏👏
PEOPLE, WATCH the whole video before writing a comment, the ignorance is astounding.
Can I use this to get cable TV?
I like turtles
Great job! This radio has proven to be awesome sounding and receiving radio. The audio is great, as all the Strykers have been. The receive is very sensative with low white noise. VERY VERY GOOD AUDIO.
I have the 955hpc and love it. It is the best radio I have purchased so far. There is no SSB drift at all. They failed to mention that the steps of the VFO can be adjusted quickly by holding in the function button in VFO mode simply turn the VFO knob and the steps will change.
I wish I had this radio back in 1974.
I hear ya. Back then, I had a Royce 23-chan AM/SSB base/mobile. Boy, were they big and heavy back then!
I was shooting skip barefoot from Adak, AK and talking all over the Pacific, and I just can't even imagine what
I could have done if I'd had my 955HP back then.
Great day in the morning: Please take out the Roger-Beep and the Echo. Why why why, would any nutcase want such crappy bling?
+++++++OH YES+++++++I WANT 1+++++++NOT AVAILIABLE IN AUSTRALIA+++++++ADELAIDE+++++++SOUTH AUSTRALIA+++++++Boo Hoo+++++++
Does this Transceiver use a Tayloe SSB modulator/demodulator for LSB/USB which makes for a better experience on the SSB modes, as there is no need for a crystal SSB filter as all energy is converted into LSB/USB depending on the position of the LSB/USB switch.
Echo sucks! All it does is make it harder to hear what someone is saying. Childish bullshit.
Im sure they could have made the export freq a lot easier to do on the radio rather than having to unsolder a component.Some cheaper radios you just hold 2 switches in whilst turning the radio on or on the Lincon 2 just cut a wire, i can imagine some folks going inside this rig with a big soldering iron and messing it up . .
Still needs to drop around $50 in price but it has a better quality build inside compaired to Cre 8900,ect .
Quote from you "Stryker did something unique with this radio and they did so by listening to their customer base" by all accounts there customer service is non existant .Been reading loads of reviews on this rig and you got rid of yours pretty quick so you might be better to update yor web page and say why as its not a cheap rig .Stryker have ment to have updated this rig and fixed the voltage issues showing incorrectly on the display and better grounding and a few other fixes !!.
Is it still 10 meter after the conversion what meters will this handle can i do multiple meters?
Can I ask you, I have a Galaxy DX-33 that's been turned up by Beagle in TN, exit 167, and it's done GREAT. Though I was thinking of buying a new radio.. Is a stryker 440hp good compared to a Galaxy 33?
Witch 33 do you have?
There is only one King of the Air Waves, and that's Mac Daddy Radio Show 7-0-Duece Reno NV!!
Which 1 of the stryker are the best? This 955 seems nice but the 497 seems to get more power and how does it compare to the galaxy 98 200watt? I'm lost in which way to go
Depends on what you want to use it for. If you just want a great powerful LOUD AM radio, buy the SR497HPC, if you need SSB, the 955.
Man, that radio looks awesome...SO many different features that I like...the echo on/off switch, 5 different selectable roger beeps...the only thing it lacked that I didn't like was a simple one tone roger beep, but hey...I got one to put in there and run it through the factory roger beep selector and display on the menu. Other than that minor deal...totally awesome radio, and I will definitely be getting one for sure, maybe more than one...one for the table by my easy chair, one for the mobile and one for my radio shop. Damn pretty radio with a ton of features that are actually useful and user friendly. Great review, thanks!!!
With the option for a ctcss module it would be nice if this radio would do split freqs or allow the clarifier to adjust the tx freq 100kHz so it could get into 10 meter repeaters.
John Leibensperger The split frequency was a great option and should have been incorporated into the 955 Stryker .
So removing that resistors allows you to use it as a cb correct?
Yes it does. Cb bands are set to Band 4 after resistor is removed.
Do you really have to remove it?
I agree with zLOSTNOMOREz. The real question here is how does the radio perform on sideband. I know a lot of operators (myself included) that buy a radio based on SSB performance before AM performance.
Going by cbradiomagazine's other video reviews, etc...there should be another video showing the radio on SSB as well as AM. Shit, I'd like to see it in FM too.
I don't understand the Echo! Why get a good radio then put the echo on so it is hard to understand! I know there are many that think it is COOL, but it just makes it hard to understand! Thank you for the information about this. I am thinking about getting it.
Yeah, some radios, slight echo seems ok but most of people overdo it.
Also obnoxious roger beeps that modulate way louder than their voices.
Looks good and sounds good. Them bleeps though they were made for trolling the muppets band.
Also why a CW jack with no cw mode? USB, LSB, AM, FM, PA. I'm confused.
I want to install my PA speaker but there is no jack. The front says PA mode, the rear says CW for the jack.
I have never understood why anyone would want to put echoes on, it only makes it harder to understand!
Echo boards is always an excellent choice due to the fact that you can fine-tune them to give you studio quality sound that is why professional singers use mixing boards to fine-tune their voice if you've heard Echo boards that you couldn't understand that simply means they was out of adjustment is all.
Hi! What hole/plug is used for the CW key?!! Finally a radio that has CW capabilities!! 70-80 watts of transmit power is just okay-lots better than 4 watts. Does the radio need to wired directly to the car battery? Can the CW function be used on the CB/11 meter band? How much does the radio cost? How much does the radio weigh? Can it be used as base station radio? Would using a directional antenna help? Thank you for the great video!
I'm pushing 400 watts biggggggg radio
I was thinking about this radio with a predator 10k competition antenna....or should I get a different antenna. Id love suggestions on this please
Try SR-A10 if you need maximum range.
I have this radio with the Predator 10K and a "Bullet Bob" four pill and it is a performer.
2020 Update: Still a mighty fine video!
New 955 owner here, checking out the functions.
I need to comment. The Key word here is EXPORT Radio. Sorry, but it IS a nicely glorified CB, fine, also I'm sure that it's quite expensive, the receiver in NO WAY can possibly ever compare to an amateur radio, same for the tx on any export radio. With an Amateur radio, sure I'm talking - second hand used amateur radio, but if you guys know the difference in design and then some, and I'm sure some, most, if not ALL do know whats inside these exports. I have a couple that I'd never get rid of, ever but I got them for so- cheap and they work great @ 50 watts SSB out. Please just think about what your buying and the price as this radio can not possibly be inexpensive, new or used as well. Trust me, in all the years I have been into radio doing this and all sorts of "that" in the various shops I've worked in, An amateur radio for the same price if not less will give you so much more for your money. SO much more in performance, quality, or the looks just to come home to after work!! etc. I'm not knocking this radio at- all and all the similar ones but just think before you spend a wad of cash- for a new or a used set. Just a word of good advice! and keep on keying up. I love the hobby, always have. g' night all.
Its not very expensive....around 350 or so. Thats about what someone sinks into a CB by the time they invest into the work to get the power up on them. You can buy amps and all that crap or buy a 10 meter and convert it. I ran a Strker 440 in my big rig for years and it took a damn beating and talked like a champion. Thats what they are for and it done a excellent job. Far far far from a waste of money. Glorified CB....maybe if you wanna look at it that way. But using it as a CB it does a damn good job. My Strker 440 would hit guys on their base stations at 50 miles easily from my pickup truck from a magnet mounted antenna. That is fantastic performance far as im concerned and they are tough as hell. For that type of usage worth every penny
I have looked around YT and only one short video shows this radio in action and the receive is just as bad in this new radio as it is in all of the other models.I'm going to tell you who this radio was intended for,truckers! Most em dont care how well it receives as long as it is loud and proud with lots of lights and echo. They just added SSB to this thing to make a little extra money from those of us who like all the toys but want SSB as well. But with the noise it will be useless on SSB!
How many bird watts????
And where does the PA come into play? I did not see a jack for the PA speaker. Just a CW and speaker jack also a data jack.
Scans very slow. I wish they'd make one that scans 40 channels in one second.
It wasn't hard sitting this one out my friend. Very nice and informative video indeed. - Keep 'em coming. - Regards from Norway
SKAL!
What is the power output of these radios ?

for sure im buzzin a big old wave to the US,BRITISH BULLDOG 99.GOT 1 COMEING.
Backslap echo only has ONE repeat and no trailing decay. Learn what you are talking about.
If ya use echo, you're a dumbass
my stryker from the usa as just been delivered,what a dissapointment the bezel and face is scratched and it looks awful.sending it back.
why does it have a cw key if it doesnt have a cw mode?
radio was fine...it was my predator. ..I switched sides and put the rubber on wrong.. lol...no she's a beast dude ...I love it
replace predator 10K with Stryker A10 Antenna. if you need maximum range.
Excellent operations video. The Best. thank You
can anyone tell me if this thing will work whit the standard cb channels whitout removing the small resistor??
Nope. CB is on 11 meter.
@@robertpolkamp Easy to remove small chip. new ones have arrow pointing at it.
Most, if not all, of the exports are all designed for the truckers and NOT the serious SSB users such as me and a few of my friends.. The best thing to do is forget these fancy radios and get an HF rig like a Kenwood TS 570 or an Icom 746 both decent used rigs...
NICE I CHANGE MY MIND ON THE SUPER STAR 6900N .IM GOING TOO SAVE A BIT MORE.
HI,
It's interesting that the regional freq mod
( removal of a link C579)
is part of the up/ down change input.
(U505 pin46 ~rp500~pull up R619 ~
de-bounce capacitor C579 ~ L504)
Since the inductor L504 is missing ,
they are clearly using this logic input
to determine the frequency limits.
but nice to know in the future there can be
an up down control on the mic.
I wish I had spent a little more money and purchased this radio instead of the AT 6666. But then again I like the really small footprint of the 6666.
How much different are the settings between this and the V2? I bought a V2, and can only see one thing different, being the ANL/NB switch settings. Thanks in advance...
Look's like a fun export wish it wasn't so expensive...better off just buying a ts440 or so for the price of the Stryker.
that is not the right one ,
The switch on mine indicates NB+ NB--yours reads ANL NB. How are they different?
How much does it cost?
What's the size of the inline fuse? I can't see the number on the fuse from my RCI Ranger RG 99 and can't find any info on it.
radio was fine...it was my predator. ..I switched sides and put the rubber on wrong.. lol...no she's a beast dude ...I love it
Looking for one of these. Cant find a price or any info on the radio in the UK market. Anyone help ?
Looking for a price in UK stirling.

Look at the CRE 8900.
Good video, good job! Good coverage & very thorough
Very nice, glad to see a radio with AM and SSB performance on par with the higher-end radios. I don't have TOO much experience with the RCI-2950/RCI-2970 but I'd say the CRE 8900 and Anytone AT-5555/Alpha 10 Max AM-1000/DX-5000/Superstar 6900 family of radios is better than the 2950 and 2970.
I have the sr655 ....everything worked great until I went into the functions ...now I hear everybody but no one hears me ...also it now displays swr hi when I talk ...what did I do lol....someone help
+James Palmer did you get this resolved? I like this radio but I don't want it if it has that issue
great review, watched the whole review.................73's from Australia
Would you sell me one of these radios? If not, how can i get my hands on one of these?
Where’s the resistor that l need to REMOVE FOR COBERTION CB to 10 METERS?
Another hi power 10m band radio being used on the 11m band. This is illegal and carries a $10,000 fine per incident.
I don't mined watching a long video about this radio at all ! ! the way i see it is if i am going to spend a ( LOT ) of money on a radio then i want to know if it is worth the money ! 73's
Its a very Nice Cb Radio,For the same Price You could Buy a Icom 718
I see people buy these and spend money to make it louder or better in their opinion. The best thing to do with this unit is take it out of the box wire it and fire it. I will say the mic leaves a bit to be desired. I am running an astatic mic. I get more compliments on this rig than I ever have the dozens I owned before buying this one. Did lose a final about 3 weeks into owning it. Stryker fixed it for free but said it was my antenna or coax. I didn't bother to tell them I ran 3 different radios on the same coax and antenna for 5 years. Overall a B+ sounds good ,loud and proud.
David, so you didn't have it peaked and tuned? Just used right out of the box? You know what watts it does on AM straight out of Box?
I bought a 955 HPC Any difference in electronics??
😀🥰 Great video❗ Clear, informative and to the point❗😀👍
Is the resistor location the same for a SR-955HPC?
Can you do a review of the stryker 497hpc2?
I know it has been awhile since this very good video was posted. I just wanted to say I have bad eye sight and an unsteady hand. I tried several times to un-solder this small small small resistor. Every time I failed. Luckily I didn't burn the traces. What I did finally do is get a razor knife and cracked that sucker in half. Works
Really?
Thanks for the interesting review
outstanding review!
Hi my name casey im from east Texas im interested in this radio how much do they run i get the money get one can u help me thanks ?
Great radio. Nice vídeo. Congratulations!
I have a 317 watt powersupply would it handle this radio
I love this radio
It appears to be one of the most advanced mobiles made.
Does this rig work on cb (citizens band )im new to this and this rig looks the dogs thanks any help?
It works on 11m frequencies. You have to have a tech do a modification to it but this is an awesome radio. I have it in my pick up.
So how much will the mod be and thanks to geting back to me
These hams are funny.
My talk back stays the same wherever the knob is (low).
IMO if a radio doesn't perform on SSB it is of no use to me...
Can we get this radio from UK ? If so where from ? Many thanks
ebay will be better option for you. www.ebay.com/itm/Stryker-SR-955-HPC-10-Meter-radio-with-Single-Sideband-/281188990512
You can buy it from ebay store.
www.ebay.com/itm/Stryker-SR-955-HPC-10-Meter-radio-with-Single-Sideband-/281188990512
So, I take it that you must have a Ham Lic# before you can even buy one of these?
the radio is made for 10 meter use, why is it in 11 meters
mikey926762011 because it’s easier to remove the diode than it is to install one. Some users by this radio for 11 meter use.
The CRE 8900 is an AWESOME radio!! I had one a short time and i was VERY PLEASED with its performance...
can u add more kick to it on top oif what it has all ready
this radio can listen 10 meters band ?
malick wolf Yeah... 10 - 11 meters
Put a astatic d104 on it
I have the stock mic sounds better, ask anyone who has put a 104 on it
radio to f to get fix after this . not the right one,
Try to make sense when you speak.
Can a man still talk on ssb with out conversations to 11 m ?
Can anyone tell me what the difference between the SR-955HP and the SR-955HPC? I see them both listed online for sale but cannot find a comparison.
Also, any problem with shipping this radio from the USA to Canada? Any crazy radio laws I'm not aware of?
Thank you to anyone who can help!
+Allan Johnston i am also looking at this radio. But i want to know if it will take a RFX150 upgrade. I just dont know what THE HELL TO GET LOL.
+4estfloor Yes you can do the RFX-150, seen it done
+4estfloor me either...I am eyeballing the galaxy Galaxy DX98VHP ...whats everyones thoughts on that one
Well i have heard great things about this radio. i even talked to a guy on one last week. I was on my Grant classic. His Stryker sounded REALLY good and he was in his mobile. I will definitely be getting one of these for sure as well as a Galaxy DX95T2. Check that out!!!!
4estfloor I like what I read about this stryker. I also liked the Galaxy until I read someone bitching about drift problems on SSB. I didn't realize there was a mod you can do ( RFX150 upgrade ) to this radio and trying to see if a dummy like me can handle it or does it require someone professional.
Why is it that NO ONE has a video up of this thing receiving on say 27.385 LSB or 27.555 USB?? The receive in Strykers have been full of white noise since the first one rolled off the line and I'm betting that this one is no difference - Which is why you can find past models of the Stryker for sale at extremely cheap prices compared to others such as Galaxy or Ranger -I appreciate the work you do on your reviews but how about a video of the radio in action?
So not good for UK FM channels, pity.
Good job on the review
best 955 vid I've seen. good job!
I need the suggestion from friends, I am in doubt which radio to buy GALAXY DX94HP or STRYKER SR 955 HPC ?? 73
