Stryker 10 Meter Amateur Ham Mobile Radio Am Slim, Black, SR94HPC

To program to a CB is very easy there’s videos on YouTubeYou just open it up and cut the white wire then press and hold a few buttons to program to CB modeAlso talks loud and clear

It's a Stryker, performs as advertised. Great compact radio, built-in speaker is usable. The controls take some getting used to, but aren't bad.

Purchased this as a 2nd chance for cheaper price.. Someone had worked/modified this b4 returning it.. Not cool.. Was going to return it.. But did some research first.. And found what was done incorrectly .. Corrected the problem and radio works great.. Decided to keep it.. It will fit perfectly in the space under my car stereo ..

great transceiver, I am loving it!not to sure how this performs on close communications but I am very pleased with it.I've got also a VHF / UHF transceiver in my car but that one doesn't cut it.I can talk sometimes with people 50km's away on VHF/UHF, line of sight but then again not with others that are 1km away.haven't tested talking to the same 1km-person with this transceiver but I am confident that 11m (10m) is much much better than VHF/UHF.VHF/UHF is silent, with this thing I seem to be able to talk over distance and actually be able to get a hold of someone in case of an emergency away from cell-phone-coverage.VHF/UHF doesn't cut it at all for me!I like the size of this transceiver. I wanted to purchase one that had ssb but there is none available that has a decent size. the american built rigs look like from the 50's and / or have the size of a refrigerator or chest-freezer.No wonder radios have disappeared from the modern cars over time, who wants to drive around with a refrigerator sized brick that look like from the 50's!if you are looking for a CB radio transceiver that is not refrigerator-sized not chest-freezer sized look at:Stryker SR-94HPCCobra 19 MINIRadioddity CB-27I just made successful contact with "cry baby" in atlanta georgia and "randy" from alabama on 27.205 (CB channel 20). I am located out of the dominican republic north-coast and have this installed on / in my car, using a tram-browning BR-140 antenna:@1178mm = 27.192 SWR: 1.1426.965 = SWR: 1.6027.405 = SWR: 1.46that's a distance of 2125km's, WOW!when I keyed the mike I saw the displayed voltage on the radio drop from 13.7V to 13.1V. I will change out the stock cabling that the radio came with to further improve performance.01.05.2022 today I spoke to someone in new york state.what I am making use of seems to be the so called "Sporadic E" propagation which is supposed to be an "unusual" form of radio propagation using characteristics of the Earth's ionosphere.for me it is not so sporadic nor unusual, it seems to work all the time and every day.and it works both ways, people respond to me and I can talk to them!

This is a great little radio, but not really ideal for a beginner or someone not willing to learn how to operate a ham radio. It will do exactly what you want it to do but in an entirely differnt way than a regular CB. If you struggle to set the knobs on a 29 you probably won’t be happy with this. (Not trying to be rude, but just saying)I bought this along with a new antenna and until I tuned the antenna it said error every time I keyed it up. Once I trimmed the steel whip down it started working and was able to get things going. This is really a great feature to protect itself from high SWR’sI didn’t realize from the description or reviews that this displays a lot of useful info on the display like incoming voltage, outgoing power, and SWR. I even checked the SWR against a meter I know and it’s acurate. (I managed to get it down to almost 1 during most conditions on channel 20. It goes up a litt but as you change the channel either way which is good and normal. Understanding SWR is a fascinating study and very useful for operating radio’s)I noticed on some reviews that there were comments about it coming on when you plug it in and there is a setting to turn that off.I set the automatic squelch control to 5 and adjust the RF gain as needed (usually 12 or 15) and have been amazed at how well that works. I love how it mutes when you do a quick tap to the power button. There are plenty of idiots out there that I’m not really interested in hearing too much of lol.My first CB was a cobra 19+ that I got for Christmas from my grandmother back in 1986 or so. I’ve been playing with radio’s ever since and this is probably one of my favorite radios yet. My last one was a connex and I really liked that one too.

Complete trash !!! Does not transmit on advertised frequencies, it’s a cb radio do not waste your time or money . False advertising!

Just installed in my car, tuned the antenna, and got 2000 miles fm and am. Be aware if you want to use the whole 10 meter band you most likely will need a tuner, or a wide band antenna. My Wilson antenna will only cover 400 killoherts
