Stryker 955 Channel Calibration

You need the cable to hook the unit to your computer. Download the interface software from Stryker site. You can then change 24 to the correct frequency. The cable is proprietary so a regular USB cable won't work.

Don't hit the 'default' button. If you do that it will change all of the channels on the d-band back to 10m frequencies and you'll have to change them all

 

Ok sorry it's been a long time. I must have been fiddling with another setting on the computer and hit 'default' and I had to change all the D band freqs back to 11m. It's fun to have the cable tho and look around to see what settings you can tweak

 

Coulda did a reset....Hold down all 3 buttons on the left then turn on the cb till it tells you its reset....Shouldnt change anything to take it outta band or nothing other than reset freq as of last settings..

 

The ant you choose depends on the trk you drive...An older classic style with a bunch of mirror arm brackets a wilson 2000/5000 type an even a big coiled type ant will work fine..
If your in a cascadia then you need a top load much longer antenna..A good ex is the firestick or skip shooter 6'/7' antenna with the load coil yp top..Alot less reflect and much better range is possible

 

Personally..I dont know anything of that antenna be it good or bad..Based on the link it looks like a cheap generic air cooled coiled ant.....
If your running a basic untuned radio i would look for a taller fibreglass ant with tuneable tip..Something like a firestick or skip shooter(im partial to a ss)...Reason why i say that is cause you have what sounds to be a high mount position and a top loaded ant(as i mentioned)will be more efficient and give better range(assumeing you have good rf ground)I would shoot for atleast a 5ft ant and if you have to lean it foward 10-20 degrees to keep below 13'6" that will be fine...Look up the term "Bonding" re antennas..k0bg.com
I would see if it helps to run a 8" length of braided ground strap to either side of door hinges..Not your basic electrical wire but the wode braided strap and see what all that does....Assuming your useing your own clamp(with bolts) on type ant bracket its most likely alumium,see if you can find stainless steel version and ss bolts/nuts to..Careful on some of those brackets,some have a plastic coating and will drive a fella to drink as to why ya cant.get good readings when tuning the ant...Now ant studs,they make a diff to....Forget all the chrome plated crap,they look pretty but thats it,they will pull apart,short out i would use the hd alumium looking one from wilson...
All that will make a diff....A big diff even on a stock cobra..

 

I have a situation now in which some of the controls seem frozen. I'm on D band channel 19 which I've used as 11m channel 19 for years but now 28.8900 is displayed on the FC. Flipping A thru E on the band selector has no effect. The 3-button reset does not work. Anybody seen this behavior before? I'm being driven back into the arms of my AT-6666 lol

****edit after powering down and taking a quick break, the 3B reset worked. Quite odd
