Some CB help with SR 655HP

Hopefully limiter is still intact and radio is putting out the rated 70+ pep watts and the meter they use is just reading higher to impress, will only know if you get it checked on a credible bench.

 

I would be willing to bet it's simply the talkback being set too high. That's what it was with my 655.

As for the 150 watts, I would also bet on the 'happy meter' theory

OP is probably fine after talkback (MON) is turned way down

 

Actually the 99v2 sounded pretty good with limiter removed, never saw it on a spectrum analyzer Im guessing it was a splatter box, reason I had it put back in was radio was swinging around 60 watts and I didnt want to blow finals ( mosfets) or cause other problems, now it is set at 12 carrier and 45 to 50 watts pep.

 

Someone destroyed that radio. I'd get a new one. It's a 20 watt radio.

 

Hogwash. You must be kidding but I don't get the joke

 

Just curious what does the onboard power meter say on your 655 when you transmit?

 

Where you getting 20 watts? 655/955 should have a carrier around 15 watts and pep to 70 watts, I dont personal own one but Strykers website has it rated at those numbers.

 

Just guessing. your number is probably more accurate
