    IMO its a good thing !
    People that fill their head with regurged public media
    "need that stuff",the more they listen the longer it will be before they clog Ch19 with their"regurgitated" version of what they "heard"

    They get smashed as well.

    40 freakin channels and you want to park that BS here ?
    S M A S H E D ! take your girlfriends to another channel

    I have no need for XM radio,I dont need "entertained" while Im "working".
    Yeah the concept of "work" evades many

    [​IMG]I use to own one of these...purchased it from a shop at the Petro on I-80 in Ohio...Akron I think...a few miles west of the PA line...

    Anyways...I mean right out of this box this thing had everything I ever wanted in a radio...plenty of power...echo...sound effects...clean crisp sound...the whole panel lights up...and more...

    Although I think I owned a model slightly larger than this one...
    I've never had more compliments than I had with this radio...

    It cost around $350.00....
    Actually now days It's better to just get a nice radio out of the box, rather than get a cheap one and butcher it by adding on...cause by the time you get done butchering your Uniden or cobra...you will have spent about the same...but still not quite have the quality...

    the only bad thing about these higher end radios...is that not really made for truck dash life...all the bumps ect ect...
    Not only that...higher end radios like this have to be perfectly tweeked...swr's and all have to be right on....

    Now if you want high power and performance with durability...connex is the way to go...connex is like a 'hummer' of high power dash board radios...

    I've never owned a Ranger, I've never owned a Connex and I've never owned a Galaxy...

    My Stryker went out on me...ended trading it in for a Magnum...which also went out on me...the Magnum model I got had bad 'finals'...

    It was a nice radio also...but I did not get as many compliments with the Magnum that I did with the Stryker...

    A total of $600.00 in high end radios...and they both broke...so I just went back to a cobra 25 basic right out the box...

    The technitions that looked at my radios told me that most drivers just can't handle higher end radios which require more attention...

    (stay away from 380 magnums...beautiful looking radios...but they have bad finals..)

    ok.... HERES THE DOWN LOW ON RANGER.... THEY MAKE THE BOARDS FOR CONNEX AND GALAXY.... I HAVE BEEN IN FREIGHTSHAKERS, PETERBUILTS, PETER SHAKERS, VOLVOS AND STILL HAVE MY RANGER LOUD AND PROUD AND KNOCK ON WOOD NEVER BLOWN AN FINAL OR HAD A CRACK IN THE BOARD..... CONNEX AND GALAXIES THAT I HAVE OWNED THAT ARE TESTED AND UNDESTRUCTABLE IN MY OPINION WHICH I HAVE THE OLD SCHOOL MODELS OVER 10 PLUS YEARS THE 33,44,66,88 IN BOTH CONNEX AND GALAXY...... THE RANGER THAT I OWN IS THE 63FFC4.... ANY ONE OF THOSE RADIOS IS GREAT .... BESIDES MY 63FFC4 I REALLY PREFER CONNEX OR GALAXY 33 ..... YEAH THEY ONLY HAVE ONE FINAL BUT THEY LAST FOREVER ... NEXT I WOULD GO WITH THE 66, THEN THE 44.THE 88 IS OK BUT FINALS DO GO OUT EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE BUT IT HAS 2 FINALS . AS FOR THE 99 TO ME COMPLETE JUNK...... SORRY ROBOT VOICE DUDES THAT WANT TO SOUND LIKE A LADY ON THE CB..... NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT ####

    [​IMG]Magnum Force....
    Here's a photo of the radio I have which no longer works...I guess I should send it in and either have them fix it or maybe on day just buy another...
    It's exciting ordering radios over the internet...you get to see so many brands and styles most have never seen...although I purchased this one in Knoxville, TN...at that T/A...
    The two guys who work there look young enough to still be in highschool...

    I was told Stryker and Magnum radios are a Father / Son business venture gone bad. The team split over some sort of disagreement, and one makes/sells Stryker (the son I think) and the dad makes the Magnums.

    I have the Stryker 440HP exact same as in the photo, its more than 2 years old, and I have never had a single problem out of it. Maybe I am just lucky...

    The only beef I have at all is the brightness of the LED's on the front. Its horrible at night, and if you are in a thunderstorm at night where conditions are bad at best. That radio becomes a liability to have turned on. I generally leave it turned on, but throw a dark towel to kill all that bright light.
