    When one has thirty+ years of radio experience starting with the Navy, I trust their judgement. A well tuned transceiver doesn't have to cost an Arm and a Leg and you prove that.
    You do great work Screwdriver.

    Been watching your videos for a few years. The one thing I enjoy about them is you work on the radio and there’s no drama (bashing other technicians) associated with it, none that I’ve seen anyway. IMO, a technician begins to lose credibility when he/she has to resort to criticizing, publicly, the work of others.
    I’m not in the market, currently, for a radio but I have been eyeballing the Stryker 955 for about a year. You’re probably going to be the source I go to if/when I decide to purchase one.

    Very good detailed video , I know that was a lot of editing work . I really like those radios and am interested .
    Two questions about that particular radio
    1. Can you turn the RF Power down to a 2 watt deadkey and still swing the full 75/80 watts , or do you have to install a swing mod kit to make that happen ,, or is it not an option ? Or does is swing full peak power with a low dead key and I just didn’t catch that ?
    2. Is these Rangers any more stable on SSB than Galaxy radios ? I have a Galaxy 98VHP and it drifts so bad on sideband it’s annoying .
    Thanks and 73’s , keep up the good work

    • @BellsCB
      @BellsCB  2 года назад +2

      It would take a "swing mod" of some sort BUT, nothing will make it sound good with that much swing. (except turning the mic way down so it wont swing that much). Radios that swing that much only sound good when set with mic gain low enough so it swings about 10-20. It only gets higher when he goes AAAHHHHDIO into it but not during normal talking. If it is possible to do AND make sound well, maybe 𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 at @ASYMOD SUPPORT can help you with it.

      Sorry I took a lot of time OFF on that project while catching up on radio work at the shop. Had to be a tech for a while rather than a video producer. I have started work again on that same project again this last week and should have it done by the end of the month. Lot's to do less time to do it. When finally released it will be the first in a series of "how To'" tune-up videos on different radios.
