Stryker SR-497HPC 10 Meter Radio + Stryker SR-A10 Antenna + DRX-3402 Heavy-Duty Mirror Mount + DRX-1518 18-Foot Premium M213 Coax Combo

The Stryker SR-497HPC Antenna Install Combo is everything a driver, off-roader, or licensed amateur operator needs to take a Stryker SR-497HPC from the box to on-the-air. Radio, antenna, heavy-duty mirror mount, and premium 18-foot M213 coax — all matched, and priced below the cost of buying the parts separately.

What's in this combo

• Stryker SR-497HPC 100+ Watt 10 Meter Amateur Radio
• Stryker SR-A10 10 Meter / CB Trucker Antenna (10,000W rated)
• Driver Extreme DRX-3402 Magnum Double-Slotted Heavy-Duty Antenna Mirror Mount
• Driver Extreme DRX-1518 18-Foot Premium M213 Coax Cable

Who This Combo Is For

This bundle is built for the operator who wants to install once and be done. If you drive a Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo, Mack, or International tractor and want a single-antenna setup on a west-coast or bracket mirror mount, this is the combo. It's also a good fit for Class 3–5 trucks, service trucks, and heavy pickups where the mirror mount is the cleanest path from radio to sky.

License note: The Stryker SR-497HPC is a 10 meter amateur radio. An FCC amateur radio license is required to transmit, with General class or higher required for its full 28.000-29.700 MHz range. Receive-only monitoring does not require a license.

Why We Picked These Four Products

The SR-497HPC delivers 100+ watts PEP on AM in a full-size chassis with the Up-Armored receiver and automatic AWI. The Stryker SR-A10 is a proven trucker antenna rated for up to 10,000 watts — massive headroom over the 100W the radio makes, which means a cool-running, reliable radiator that will outlast the truck it's mounted on. The DRX-3402 is a heavy-duty double-slotted mirror mount cut and finished for real trucks — not the flimsy stamped bracket you get from a big-box store. And the DRX-1518 is 18 feet of premium M213 low-loss coax for a single mirror-mount install.

Stryker SR-A10 Antenna

The SR-A10 is Stryker's flagship 10 meter / CB trucker whip. Rated up to 10,000 watts — massive overbuild for a 100W SR-497HPC, which is exactly what you want for a cool-running, long-life antenna.

Full coax details here.

Installation Overview

1. Mount the DRX-3402 to your mirror arm. Use stainless hardware, torque to feel, and check that the antenna will clear low bridges and gas station canopies before you tighten fully.
2. Install the Stryker SR-A10 on the mount. Snug the base into the mirror mount. Leave the tip cap accessible if you plan to tune length for lowest SWR.
3. Route the DRX-1518 coax from the antenna base through the cab. Avoid sharp bends, hot exhaust surfaces, and pinch points at the door.
4. Connect the coax to the SR-A10 at the antenna base and to the SR-497HPC at the SO-239 on the back of the radio.
5. Power on the SR-497HPC, key up briefly on a clear frequency, and adjust the SR-A10 tip until you get lowest SWR on your primary operating frequency. Under 1.5:1 is excellent; under 2.0:1 is safe to run. Watch the automatic AWI as a backstop.

Don't forget to add the Pro tune and alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.

Combo FAQ

Is this combo everything I need to get on the air?

Yes, plus a mounting location for the antenna and an amateur radio license for on-air transmit use. The combo includes the radio, antenna, mount, and coax.

Do I need an amateur radio license?

Yes, to transmit. An FCC amateur radio license is required, with General class or higher required for the SR-497HPC's full 28.000-29.700 MHz range. Receive-only monitoring does not require a license.

Will this fit a Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo, Mack, or International tractor?

The DRX-3402 mount fits standard 3/4"–1" mirror arms on all six of those brands. For the radio itself, measure first: the SR-497HPC is 7-7/8" wide × 2-3/8" high × 9-1/4" deep, about 11-1/2" deep overall including knobs and heatsink. Space varies by truck, model year, and options. If space is tight, compare the dimensions of the SR-655HPC+.

Is 10,000 watts of antenna overkill for a 100 watt radio?

Overbuild is exactly the right call for a trucker antenna. A whip rated far above your actual output runs cool, tunes wide, and lasts longer under real-road stress. The SR-A10 was chosen specifically because it will outlive the truck — and it's already sized for a linear amplifier if you ever add one.

Is 18 feet of coax enough for a Class 8 tractor?

For most single mirror-mount installs, yes, but measure your planned run from the antenna base to the radio first. If you're mounting significantly farther (a stack on a sleeper roof, for example), consider our longer coax options.

Can I use a magnet mount instead of the DRX-3402 mirror mount?

Yes. If you'd prefer a temporary or non-drilled install, swap the SR-A10 + DRX-3402 for the SR-A10MM magnet-mount version. Contact us and we'll build a custom combo.

How is this different from the SR-655HPC+ install combo?

Same accessory recipe (SR-A10 + DRX-3402 + DRX-1518), different radio. The SR-497HPC is a full-size radio with dual digital echo controls; the SR-655HPC+ is a short-chassis radio that adds NOAA weather, a built-in frequency counter, and a 3-year warranty. Both are in the 100-watt PEP class on AM.

Should I add the audio combo too?

If you also want to fix cab audio and mic clarity, look at the SR-497HPC Audio Combo — DRX-9010 external speaker + DRX-6560 noise-cancelling mic. Some customers order both bundles for a complete build.

Is this combo cheaper than buying the pieces separately?

Yes. The combo costs less than buying the radio, antenna, mount, and coax separately.

What's the warranty?

The SR-497HPC carries a 1-year Stryker limited warranty. The SR-A10 carries Stryker's 2-year antenna guarantee. The DRX-3402 and DRX-1518 are covered by Driver Extreme's own manufacturer warranty.
