Ranger RCI-X9HP Truck Install Combo with SR-A10 Antenna
Ranger RCI-X9HP Truck Install Combo
This package combines the Ranger RCI-X9HP AM/SSB 10-meter radio with a Stryker SR-A10 antenna, Driver Extreme DRX-3402 mirror mount and DRX-1518 18-foot M213 coax. It brings the radio and main antenna-system components together for a compatible mirror-mount installation.
The RCI-X9HP offers AM, USB and LSB modes with a manufacturer-advertised 200W PEP output rating. Its frequency counter, fine clarifier, SWR meter, high-SWR warning light and two internal fans provide the controls and cooling features needed to plan the radio side of your setup.

Antenna-System Details
The SR-A10 trucker-style antenna uses a 49-inch stainless-steel whip and standard 3/8-24 threaded shaft. Adjust the antenna for the 10-meter frequencies you intend to use and verify SWR after installation rather than assuming it is matched out of the box.
The DRX-3402 provides a 2.50-inch-wide aluminum mounting platform with stainless-steel hardware and a heavy-duty DX239 stud. The DRX-1518 supplies 18 feet of flexible M213 coax with braided and foil shielding; check that the cable route and mirror mounting surface suit your vehicle.
Installation Checklist
Ranger lists the radio at 7⅜″ wide × 8¾″ deep × 2¼″ high. These are nominal dimensions, not a guaranteed vehicle fit; allow clearance for controls, rear connections, cables and the two fans' bottom airflow.
- Confirm that the mirror arm or mounting surface can securely support the bracket and antenna.
- Check antenna clearance and the complete coax route before mounting.
- Provide a properly fused DC power connection and wiring suitable for the radio.
- Keep ventilation beneath the radio unobstructed.
- Check antenna grounding and bonding, then adjust the antenna and verify SWR on the completed installation.
The auto-calibrating SWR meter helps with measurement; it does not automatically tune the antenna. This package supplies equipment, not an installed or vehicle-tuned antenna system.
Already have an antenna system? Choose the RCI-X9HP audio combo with DRX-9010 speaker and DRX-6560 microphone, or the standalone RCI-X9HP radio.
Pro Tune and Alignment is available as an optional add-on at checkout.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the RCI-X9HP truck install combo include?
The package includes the RCI-X9HP radio with its Ranger microphone, one SR-A10 antenna, one DRX-3402 mirror mount and one DRX-1518 18-foot M213 coax cable.
Is the included SR-A10 a magnetic-mount antenna?
No. This combo uses the trucker-style SR-A10 with a separate DRX-3402 mirror mount. It is not the SR-A10MM magnetic-mount model.
Will this mirror mount fit every truck?
No universal fit is promised. Check the mirror-arm shape, available mounting space, antenna support and cable route before ordering.
Does the radio's SWR meter automatically tune the antenna?
No. The meter calibrates itself for measurement, but antenna mounting and adjustment must be checked on the actual vehicle. Verify SWR for the frequencies you intend to use.
Are the DRX-6560 microphone and DRX-9010 speaker included?
No. Those Driver Extreme audio accessories are included in the separate audio combo. This package has the radio's Ranger microphone and the listed antenna-system components.
Does the 18-foot coax replace antenna adjustment?
No. Coax connects the radio and antenna; its length does not guarantee a matched antenna system. Use a safe cable route and verify the completed installation's SWR.
