Stryker 655

Mic gain wide open. RF power wide open.
Turn talkback down until squeal goes away.

 

Just as a reference point, i cleaned the connector per Mark's video and it worked fine unti now, so the fix lasted about 9 months. I spritzed the connector again last night and Im sure it will be fine. Ill test it today. The only thing I did different was I used contact cleaner rather than the product Mark used. The contact cleaner I have is basically petroleum ether if not 100% petroleum ether

 

Just wondering, does the connector pull off easily just by pulling on the wires? My experience is that you need to use a jewelers screwdriver and gently pry the connector loose before pulling it off. I don’t understand why these radios have this problem, especially considering how much they cost.

 

It pulls off really easily. I think Mark uses a pick but I used a small wood stick. Again, it comes off really easily. Years ago there was a product called Tuner Cleaner when televisions had actual mechanical tuning mechanisms. It was basically an entire aerosol can of solvent with a couple drops of mineral oil blended in. I wonder if something like that would last longer. Having said that, if I only have to do it every 9 months it's not the end of the world. The downside is the problem (both times) popped up when I was traveling. Thats hardly the job I want to do in a hotel room or vehicle

 

If hard drive tuned it,turn tb on but leave its volume down..He uses its power or some techy stuff as part of the tune

 

Weirdo.....Your on drugs..Noooo key ups come on a stryker..

 

Bob's....lol...go ahead bud...Roger beeps are bad enough but key ups are for lonely ole men whos wives forgot about or for super hammy wanna bes..
Rather spend that $ on maken a radio sound better tx/rec further or antenna upgrades

 

What else needs to be said about a Stryker, eh?

Though since I’m running a GALAXY, that key-up or some other SciFi noise would be pretty funny.

With robot voice to announce The Singularity.

 

Heck you can load any noise you want with the data cable, no?
