Stryker SR-655HPC 10 METER RADIO is for sale on cl for $350. How does that price look? Is this a good radio? Any known issues? Mods?

Have you tried a Google search? The website has tractor trailer rigs in the background. Pretty much a glorified CB radio in hams clothing:wink:
So, yes, I would say overpriced. Please, no flames, just my opinion
I've owned the Uniden 2510.

My two favorite 10 meter rigs were actually 80-10m HF base stations.
The Yaesu FT-747 and the TenTec Argonaut 509. The 747 was 100 watts and the 509 was 10 watts.
Used both in the mobile. Made most of my contacts on 10m with the 509 on 10 watts or less. The 747 was great on FM contacts mobile.
Search around for good deals on older, used rigs, or save your money and get something like the FT-857 or 897. Trust the manufacturers that are selling quality radios

No thank you this is exactly what I 'd want to hear. If something is overpriced then it's overpriced.

Little Shack mobile

Radio Shack made a few 10 meter mobiles.
You should be find one used for well under $100.
I know one got down to something like $59 new before the Shack quit carrying them.
AM/FM/SSB.
I think at least one of them has a jack for a key.
