Stryker sr-490 (big talker)
First thing you should know is that the knobs are pushed in a bit, still works like a champ. This radio has been tuned, peaked, and modified to push 115w-125watts and to work on CB19. I have owned this radio for 1.5 years, and have had no problems with it, i will add a predator antenna to the package, a $79.00 value.
High Power Final Transistor - The SR-490HP uses a single SGS Thomson SD1446 flange mounted transistor that provides the user with 100 + watts PEP. If you want be heard, the SR-490HP has the power required to do some serious talking.
Digital Echo with/ Dual Front Mounted Controls - Provides the operator a much wider range of effects and control than typical factory or aftermarket echo boards. Our board is able to reproduce the human voice with virtually no distortion providing maximum clarity and enjoyment.
Dual Roger Beeps - Two different roger beeps are included with the SR-490HP. These are controlled using a switched that is located on the front panel. This is a feature that you will find on virtually no other radio direct from the factory. Most importantly the roger beep can be turned off when it's not needed.
Variable Power Control Allows the operator to adjust or vary their carrier from one watt to over 100 watts PEP.
Variable Talk Back Control The infamous talk back squeal is virtually eliminated with our independently controlled talk back circuitry. The operator can adjust the volume to the perfect level as operating conditions require. Best of all the user no longer has to turn down the microphone gain to stop the annoying squeal that is often the result of poor design or cost cutting at the production level.
Up-Armored Receiver- Our exclusive receiver protection works even under the harshest conditions, such as those experienced at a busy truck stop with many operators running high power radios. In addition our receiver filtering is tighter than most radios on the market. This means adjacent channel rejection is improved.
Back Lighted Controls - Our exclusive face plate design provides operators with back lighted controls, making adjustments even in the darkest conditions easy. Best of all our design is extremely durable and can be dimmed using the dimmer switch located on the front panel of the radio.
