Looking for recommendations on where to buy a new Stryker 955?

better off going back to Walcott's or maybe Bells CB...doubt that the tune had anything to do with the noise problems you were having...Thats more than likely just lack of grounding causing the trucks electrical system to mess with the radio...you would probably have the same issues with whatever radio you hook up.

Personally, other than the old Stryker 440's, I'm not that big a fan of Strykers, but everyone has their favorites.

 

Atlantic coast communications. At the Petro in Atlanta, also at the TA
north of Atlanta in Cartersville, Georgia.
I bought one three years ago from the one at Petro.
Very pleased with service and pricing.
It's been a awesome radio, haven't had any problems
out of it. Mine is the 655.

 

I was 10 feet away from the ACC shop at Cartersville today. I was getting a fuel receipt.

I would recommend buying from a shop that will do the conversion for you. I presume ACC will do that

 

He sells them ready to go and runs them on the bench before you leave with it. Seems like a guy that knows what he's doing and pleasant to deal with. I staged there Saturday night for a delivery this morning on that side of town, and somehow my old Cobra 29 changed into a 447HPC2 while I was walking the dog or something.

ETA: He has the 655 and 955 in stock. Another driver left with a 655 as I walked in.

 

I'll have to remember that. I live pretty close to that TA

 

I wouldn't recommend purchasing one of the new ones until somebody figures out how to fix this problem.

 

I'll bravely ask the question I'm sure some others have: what are we looking at and why is it a problem?

 

Some crazy spurs 11.75 mhz on either side of the fundamental frequency . It appears to be a mixer problem and no service manual alignment procedure would fix it. It's an engineering defect.
It produces some crazy harmonics also, and it's nothing you can fix by tuning. You definitely won't be using this with an amplifier unless you want to blow it up on purpose.

 

Thanks for that. Would this apply to just the 655/955, or other Stryker models as well?

Sorry for the ignorant questions. I'm only somewhat familiar with the various manufacturers and their features, but obviously not at the component level.
