Finding a good setup

good choices Walcott have Stryker a 955 at $379 :00 am fm SSB 90 watts after tuned and peaked

 

High voltage have driver Appreciation days as well they have a Facebook page I’m not sure about Walcott radio

 

So, I wouldn’t be in the wrong to purchase

STRYKER SR-955HPC ($398)
Stryker SR-955HPC 10 Meter radio with Single Sideband

Predator k10 antenna ($100)
Predator 10-K 22in Shaft Competition CB Antenna

For a 579 Pete ‘17?

would any one change this setup? What amp would go with this setup?

 

Start with the antenna first, get an older dependable cobra or uniden that has a proper alignment, use that to get the antenna setup right then look around.

I would not get a radio that has been "tuned", they can work just as well right out of the box,

 

I wouldn't let Walcott inside your radio,there's been members here that have had bad experiences.

Maybe somebody can chime in,and give you a good shop.

I know Rick out at the ta in Gary does good work.

 

I didn’t say 2. I just said predator

 

Do a search on here about the strykers. They’ve been have issues.

 

Would me getting a
COBRA 29NW w/ a RM Italy KL 503 Amp

The above would only cost 400. With a Firestick or another high base load antenna. This way I don’t have to tune the radio, other than calibration with a external swr meter. As suggested by ridgeline and also I don’t have to have a shady shop mess something up.

I do carry a box sometimes so I would think a predator being a middle base antenna wouldn’t be a good option.

I plan on mounting the antenna on top of the passenger side window.

i only need to get out maybe 7-10 miles on a occasion, and 3-5 miles normally.

he is currently shut down due to the coronavirus epedemic

 

Why would you want to run an Amp beside the 955 output power is 80 /90 watts SSB I presume similar watts on Am
