Location

Plan  the  location  of  the  transceiver  and  microphone  brackets 

before starting the installation. Select a location that is convenient for 

operation and does not interfere with the driver or passengers in the 

vehicle. In automobiles, the transceiver is usually mounted below the 

dash panel, with the microphone bracket beside it.

Mounting

Your mobile radio is supplied with a universal mounting bracket. 

When mounting the bracket and radio to your car, make sure it is 

mechanically strong. Also provide a good electrical connection to the 

chassis of the vehicle. Proceed as follows to mount the transceiver:

Mount the Transceiver

After you have determined the most convenient location in your 

vehicle, hold the mobile radio with the mounting bracket in the exact 

location desired. If nothing will Interfere with mounting it in the desired 

position, remove the thumbscrews and use the mounting bracket as 

a template to mark the holes for the mounting screws. Before drilling 

the holes, make sure nothing behind the surface will be damaged or 

interfere with the installation.

Electrical Connections

The Stryker SR955 is designed to work on any 13.8 volt DC, negative 

ground electrical source. The condition of a vehicle’s electrical system 

can have a profound affect on the performance of the radio. A low 

battery, worn generator/alternator, or poor voltage regulator will seriously 

impair the performance of the transceiver. Any of the above conditions 

could result in a high level of receiver noise generation or a Substantial 

loss of the transmitter’s RF output. Make sure that all these components 

on your vehicle’s electrical system are in good condition prior to installing 

the transceiver.

Before making any electrical connections make sure the volume (VOL) 

11 

control is in the“OFF” position.

Connect the positive (+) red wire of the DC power cord to a positive 

21 

13.8-volt source at the vehicle fuse block. If connecting to the fuse 

block, it is recommended that a switched power source be used so 

that the power to the Transceiver is disconnected when the vehicle is 

off. This eliminates the possibility the transceiver draining the vehicle’s 

battery.

Connect the negative (-) black wire to a metal part of the vehicle’s 

31 

frame, or chassis ground. Make sure that this is a good ground 

connection.

Antenna Connections

The Stryker SR-955 has a jack in the rear for a standard PL-259 

antenna plug. If you are looking for the most range for your transmission, 

use a vertically polarized, quarter-wave length antenna. If antenna height 

is a problem, you may use a shorter, loaded-type whip antenna although 

you can expect some loss of transmission range. Your antenna should 

always be adjusted for the lowest possible SWR (1.5 or less.) To adjust 

your antenna for best performance, you can take advantage of your 

radio’s built in SWR meter. Failure to properly adjust your antenna(s) 

will diminish your operational range and could result in damage to your 

radio. Damage that results from operating with high SWRs is not covered 

under your factory warranty!
