Stryker SR-955HPC+ 10 Meter Radio
Stryker SR-955HPC+ — The 100+ Watt AM/FM/SSB 10 Meter Flagship
The Stryker SR-955HPC+ is the top of the Stryker HPC line and the only member that adds Single Sideband (SSB) to the AM/FM/WX/PA feature set — a serious 10 meter mobile radio built for operators who want long-haul talk power in a shorter chassis that still fits under a Peterbilt or Kenworth dash. Rated at 100+ watts PEP on AM and SSB with 45 watts on FM, a seven-color selectable faceplate, dual digital echo, variable talkback, and a factory noise-reduction circuit, the SR-955HPC+ is the radio drivers reach for when 55 W or 60 W just isn't enough.
Every SR-955HPC+ ships from CB Radio Supply with the factory dynamic microphone, power cord, mounting bracket, mic clip, and a 3-year Stryker warranty. Don't forget to add the Pro Tune & Alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.
Why drivers pick the SR-955HPC+
- The only Stryker HPC with SSB. AM, FM, USB, LSB, weather, and PA — one radio covers 10 m repeater work, DX sideband, and daily local traffic.
- 100+ watts PEP AM and SSB, 45 W FM. Rated output well above the 55–60 W tier (SR-447HPC2, SR-497HPC, SR-655HPC+).
- Upgraded NRC noise reduction circuit minimizes hash during transmit and receive — the "+" upgrade over the earlier V2.
- Shorter chassis (9-1/4" deep) versus older Stryker flagships — installs where older 10m radios wouldn't.
- Dual digital echo, variable talkback, six selectable Roger beeps — full audio-shaping toolkit at the front panel.
- Seven-color selectable display + 32-position dimmer matches any dash lighting.
- CTCSS / DCS built in for private tone-coded groups.
- Auto-calibrating SWR meter built in for reading your antenna system after install.
Where the SR-955HPC+ fits in the Stryker family
| Model | Modes | AM Power (PEP) | FM Power | SSB | Chassis (W×H×D) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SR-955HPC+ (this radio) | AM/FM/SSB/WX/PA | 100+ W | 45 W | 100+ W PEP | 7-7/8" × 2-3/8" × 9-1/4" | Serious ham operators, SSB DX, max legal talk power |
| SR-655HPC+ | AM/FM/WX/PA | 60+ W | 45 W | — | 7-7/8" × 2-3/8" × 9-1/4" | OTR drivers wanting the flagship AM/FM without SSB |
| SR-497HPC | AM/FM/WX/PA | 60+ W | 45 W | — | 7-7/8" × 2-3/8" × 9-1/4" | All-rounder AM/FM mid-power |
| SR-447HPC2 | AM/FM/PA | 55+ W | 45 W | — | 6-1/4" × 1-7/8" × 8-1/4" | Tight dash slots, smaller trucks, budget-friendly |
Truck fitment — does the SR-955HPC+ fit your rig?
The SR-955HPC+ uses the standard Stryker HPC chassis (7-7/8" wide × 2-3/8" tall × 9-1/4" deep). It fits most Class 8 sleeper trucks with an overhead cubby or under-dash mount, but the 9-1/4" depth is worth double-checking for tight overheads.
| Truck | Typical mount location | SR-955HPC+ fit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kenworth T680 / T880 | Overhead cubby | Yes with bracket | Confirm ~10" clearance behind the cubby face for coax and mic cord routing. |
| Peterbilt 579 / 389 | Overhead console or right of steering column | Yes | Overhead console has more depth than the T680; direct swap for older Stryker installs. |
| Freightliner Cascadia | Center dash / passenger-side dash | Yes | Center dash preferred for SSB tuning — controls are within easy reach. |
| Volvo VNL | Overhead radio pocket | Yes | Overhead pocket is generous; verify 9-1/4" depth clears interior trim. |
| Mack Anthem | Under-dash or passenger-side console | Yes | Route coax along the A-pillar to avoid airbag paths. |
| Sprinter / Class-A RV | Overhead or dash | Yes | Depth is the only variable; measure before drilling. |

Important: 10 meter radios require an amateur (ham) license
The Stryker SR-955HPC+ transmits on the 10 meter amateur band (28.000–29.700 MHz) and is not a CB radio. Under FCC Part 97, you need a valid amateur radio license (Technician class or higher) to legally transmit on 10 meters. Receiving is fine without a license, but transmitting requires the ticket. You can study for and take the Technician exam through the ARRL — most operators pass in a few weeks of study.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Stryker SR-955HPC+ the same radio as the SR-955HPC?
No. The SR-955HPC+ is the upgraded "Plus" version of the SR-955HPC V2. It adds 100+ W PEP output (versus 60+ W PEP on the base V2), an upgraded Noise Reduction Circuit (NRC), and a shorter chassis. Same footprint, more power, cleaner audio.
How many watts does the SR-955HPC+ actually put out?
Rated 15 W carrier / 100+ W PEP on AM, 45 W on FM, and 100+ W PEP on SSB. Independent bench tests on YouTube confirm ~95–125 W PEP on AM and ~100 W PEP on SSB with a stock radio at 14.4 V.
Do I need a license to use the SR-955HPC+?
Yes. The SR-955HPC+ transmits on the 10 meter amateur band and requires an FCC Technician-class amateur radio license (or higher) to legally transmit. Study materials and exam sessions are available through the ARRL.
What's the difference between the SR-955HPC+ and the SR-655HPC+?
The SR-955HPC+ adds SSB (USB/LSB) and roughly doubles PEP output (100+ W vs 60+ W on the 655). Same chassis, same audio-shaping features. Pick the 955 if you want SSB DX and maximum talk power; pick the 655 if you only need AM/FM and want to save about $150.
Does the SR-955HPC+ do Single Sideband?
Yes. It's the only Stryker HPC radio that includes SSB. Both USB and LSB are supported with 55 dB carrier suppression and 50 dB unwanted-sideband rejection — clean enough to run into a linear amplifier without splatter.
Will the SR-955HPC+ fit under my Kenworth T680 overhead cubby?
Yes, with the included mounting bracket. The 9-1/4" chassis depth is on the deeper end of the Stryker family — measure your cubby depth first. If space is tight, the SR-447HPC2 is 1" shorter in depth but AM/FM only, no SSB.
Is the SR-955HPC+ FM CB legal?
No. FM CB (approved by the FCC in 2021 for 11-meter CB channels) is a different band. The SR-955HPC+ is a 10 meter amateur radio and requires a ham license. If you want a legal FM CB, look at our FM CB radios collection.
What antenna works best with the SR-955HPC+?
The Stryker SR-A10 is our top pick — it's factory-matched to the Stryker HPC family, tunable across 10 meters, and short enough for a mirror mount without hitting bridges. For base station use, a full-size 10 meter vertical or dipole will get you the most out of the 100 W PEP.
Do you offer Pro Tune on the SR-955HPC+?
Yes. Don't forget to add the Pro Tune & Alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.
What microphone comes with the SR-955HPC+?
A factory 4-pin dynamic microphone. It works fine out of the box. If your cab is loud (diesel idle, road noise, wind), upgrade to the Astatic 636L noise-cancelling mic or the DRX-6560 4-pin dynamic noise-cancelling mic — both plug in without adapter.
Does the SR-955HPC+ have weather channels?
Yes. It receives all seven NOAA weather channels via the dedicated WX mode. It does not have weather alert priority (WAP) — you tune to a weather channel manually.
Can I program the SR-955HPC+ from my computer?
Yes, via a USB Smart Cable (sold separately). PC programming lets you set channels, save presets, and load custom Roger beeps. Six factory Roger beeps ship on the radio; you can swap in your own via the programmer.
What's the warranty on the SR-955HPC+?
3 years, direct from Stryker Radios. Warranty registration is automatic when you purchase from CB Radio Supply — no card to mail in. If you ever need service, contact us first and we'll walk you through the RMA.
Is the SR-955HPC+ a good first 10 meter radio?
Only if you're planning to grow into SSB. If you're new to ham and want AM/FM only, the SR-497HPC or SR-447HPC2 is a better starting point (cheaper, simpler front panel). If you're already licensed and want one radio that does everything, the 955 is the right pick.
