Looks like the older version (non-DSP), but Stryker audio is sure pleasant.
He’s parked using an antenna on a tripod.
Looks like he might need to upgrade wiring or run the engine, huh?

You won't be sorry! At the price point this radio is truly outstanding. Unlike other Anytone branded radios the AM audio is very good with a N/C mic (I use a 636) and SSB is rock solid as usual with Anytone. The receiver is very good and with the adjustable DSP NR is very pleasant to listen to. No need for your trusty WM ClrSpkr! Once you have the appropriate adjustments set in the menu the front controls are very easy to work with while piloting the diesel car. The amber display is easy on the eyes at night and easy to read during the day. The display will be unhappy when first fired up in a cold truck but settles down in a few minutes. The weather band is a nice feature as it will switch on when a weather alert is issued.I’m ready to try one.
BTW...............this is how I mounted the antenna on the new truck............remember I do strictly open deck........

5 foot Skipshooter with a Top Gun Z-Perch mount available from Bob's CB, Walcott, etc. No issues with grounding and readings on the AA-35 are pretty good! A standard Bird Perch will work in the available bolt holes in the back of the cab(and on Freightliners too). The standard Bird Perches tend to be a little on the skinny side for my taste. The Z-Perch has a very beefy perch!

Just a little tidying up to do with the coax and avoiding 13'8" bridges at speed (Skipshooters are rugged though)!

I recommend this to anyone that has been looking at the Stryker 955, but doesn't want to pony up $4-500 for one. It's a better mobile radio, easier to operate than a 955 and the DSP NR is adjustable unlike the 955.

A $470 Stryker?
Or an ANYTONE Quad 5 V-2 plus an RM ITALY KL-503hd 300W for the same money in a big truck?
Getting amp & radio to work together is best left to a tech, and mobile power needs to be 30A (preferably, 40A) capable. 6-AWG at 15’ -25’ big truck.
Keep it turned down a bit, yet see 200W+ divided in two for a big truck radio rig with tallest top load “cophase” antennas. (100W each). Ck dimensions as it’s long.
DSP means one can hear to the limits of how far one can transmit. Match them up.
A typical set of mirror mounts needs the help in a big truck. (Need plenty of correct RF Bonds).
AT Quad 5 with car or pickup center-roof mount antenna ought to be fine with radios 60W. Amps are a lot more work. It’s the antenna that’ll matter.

Have two of these three. Time to get “the newest”
