Stryker SR-655HPC+ 10 Meter Amateur Radio

The Stryker SR-655HPC+ 10-meter amateur radio is built for heavy-duty mobile and base station operation. This model — an upgrade to the popular Stryker SR-655HPC — adds NOAA weather channels, AM and FM modes, and a short chassis design that fits almost any mounting location. It delivers up to 100 watts PEP output with upgraded internal components for reliable, consistent performance.

While technically a 10-meter amateur radio (not a CB), the Stryker 655 CB radio, as it's often called, is one of the most popular upgrades for CB operators moving into the ham world. Whether you search for it as the SR-655HPC+, SR655HPC, or simply the Stryker 655, this radio has earned its reputation as a workhorse across trucker, off-road, and home base communities.

The SR-655HPC+ offers 100 watts PEP output, an up-armored receiver that rejects noise and static from nearby frequencies, variable power control, and more. The up-armored receiver is Stryker's reinforced RF front-end design — it uses tighter filtering and improved shielding so nearby strong signals bleed into your channel less, which is why the radio performs so well in high-RF-congestion areas like truck stops, convoys, and dense urban corridors. The large backlit LED display offers seven color options and adjustable brightness for visibility day or night. PC programmability opens up granular tuning options not available from the front panel.

Features That Make the SR-655HPC+ Shine

One of the biggest selling points of the SR-655HPC+ is that you can run it in a mobile setup or a fixed base station without compromise. Most radios on the market are optimized for one or the other. The SR-655HPC+ transitions between both platforms without skipping a beat. The upgraded receiver gives you natural-sounding audio while minimizing noise from surrounding signals.

If you operate in heavy radio traffic areas, the SR-655HPC+ has you covered. It ships standard with NOAA weather channels and variable power control, so you can dial your output up or down whether you're driving through a busy corridor or working from your home station. PC programmability is another feature operators love — connect the radio to your computer and access settings that aren't reachable from the front panel.

SR-655HPC+ vs. SR-655HPC: What's the Difference?

The only difference between the original Stryker SR-655HPC and the plus version is NOAA weather channel capability. If you like to monitor weather broadcasts directly from your radio — especially useful for over-the-road drivers and storm-country operators — the SR-655HPC+ is the right choice. Everything else about the two radios is identical.

Mobile Ready? Yes.

Installing the SR-655HPC+ in your vehicle is easy thanks to the low-profile chassis. You'll have no problem fitting it into most mounting locations — under-dash, overhead console, or center console. Variable power control lets you drop your output when running in close-quarters convoys or urban traffic, and NOAA weather channels are there when Mother Nature turns on you.

Standard Features at Your Disposal

The display is fantastic and offers several customization options. A built-in dimmer adjusts brightness, and the LED backlight offers seven colors. Reading your radio's display while driving at night or working in a low-light shack can be a strain — the SR-655HPC+ lets you dial the brightness down to a comfortable level so you can focus on the road or the band.

Program Your Radio the Easy Way

Typing settings directly into the radio can be tedious, especially for minor adjustments. The SR-655HPC+ is PC programmable — connect it to your computer and access advanced settings that aren't available from the unit's front panel. Experienced operators appreciate this feature because it opens up much finer tuning when dialing in the radio for a specific antenna or install.

SR-655HPC+ Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Stryker 655 come with a license?
No. The Stryker SR-655HPC+ is a 10-meter amateur radio. To legally transmit on it, you need at least an FCC Technician-class amateur radio license.

What's the difference between the SR-655HPC+ and the regular SR-655HPC?
The only difference between the original SR-655HPC and the plus version is NOAA weather channel capability. If you like to monitor weather broadcasts directly from your radio, the SR-655HPC+ is the right pick.

Can the Stryker 655 be set up at my home base?
Yes, absolutely. Even though the SR-655HPC+ has features that make it ideal for mobile use, it works beautifully as a home base radio. Pair it with a quality regulated power supply (at least 20-25 amps for 100W PEP) and a 10-meter antenna, and you're on the air.

What's the best antenna for the Stryker 655?
While you can use just about any antenna with this radio, you'll get the best performance from antennas specifically tuned for the 10-meter band. Popular pairings from our catalog include base-loaded and center-loaded 10-meter mobile antennas for vehicles, and dedicated 10-meter vertical or dipole antennas for home base setups. Browse our 10-meter antenna selection or contact us for a recommendation based on your vehicle or install location.

How do I set SWR on the Stryker 655?
The SR-655HPC+ features auto-calibrating SWR, which means the radio automatically calculates the Standing Wave Ratio for you — no manual calibration required. This protects the radio's finals from damage caused by an antenna mismatch. You'll still want to tune your antenna itself for a low SWR reading (ideally under 1.5:1) using the radio's built-in SWR meter before extended transmitting.

Will the SR-655HPC+ work with an external speaker or PA horn?
Yes. The SR-655HPC+ includes a Public Address (PA) function that lets you route audio through an external speaker or PA horn, in addition to a standard external speaker jack for improving your receive audio.

What does the 10 Meter Pro Tune and Alignment service do?
Our optional $50 10 Meter Pro Tune and Alignment service is a bench calibration we perform on your radio before it ships. We verify and adjust the frequency counter, peak the finals for maximum clean output, align the receiver for best sensitivity, and confirm all modes are performing to spec.
