StrykerSR-A10MM Magnetic Mount CB & 10-Meter Radio Antenna

My receive and transmit distance were noticeably improved as soon as I plugged it in. The little blue transmit light is a bit gimmicky and, to be honest, I'm a bit worried about getting stopped at night for having a flashing blue light on my roof.I was able to get good SWR's well above and below 11m (cb) channels (I am a licensed ham).Be mindful of the screw off end on the coax. Make sure it's fully seated and tight. I didn't have it tightened when I installed it and my SWR's were high.Be sure to not bunch up the coax when routing it into your vehicle.Make sure the set screws are tight but not overly tight as to strip them.The allen wrench to tighten the set screws is included. It's small be careful not to lose it. Harbor frieght has replacements cheap.The whip is very flexible. Even with the extra height over the Lil' Wil it makes much less noise when it smacks tree limbs. I have mine mounted on top of a minivan so it sits higher than most cars.The antenna itself unscrews easily from the magnet to get into parking garages or to deter theft. Stryker also includes a "weather cap" that screws in place of the antenna should you want to leave it off with out removing the magnet.A replacement whip is around $15 should you cut it too short or in the unlikely event you bend it too much.Over all it's a good buy. A bit pricey but much better than the other magnet mounts I've tried.I have mine paired to a Stryker 94-hpc, also available on amazon.

This antenna is built like a tank. I tuned this antenna for 10 meters. I am located near Cape Cod. I have picked up people in Africa, Europe, Canada, Mexico, South America and all over the U.S. On 11 meter SSB I can pick up signals all over the U.S. This antenna is worth the investment.

I recommend the SRA10 magnet mount antenna to all the pilots that ask me about what to use on there setups. I outfit pilot cars for myself and multiple others I meet. So I stock these in my shop to sell to them and install them with all the other equipment I put on, and I constantly hear back about their noticeable gain in range for their radios. These antennas work very well for us. They are about 5 foot tall or so but do bend easy if they need to drive under something like a tree branch or a drive through.

very easy to setup and use

I received the antenna missing the whip so I used a whip from another antenna to try out. The whip from another antenna was 3 inches short and SWR was very high. Just to be fair to the Stryker antenna I wrapped a piece of bare copper wire at the tip of the whip to make up the length and I got very low SWR. Of course I wouldn’t want to drive around with a piece of added wire on the antenna. The SR-A10 is a very well built antenna, the magnetic mount is strong but not too strong that you can’t pull it off when you need to. I liked the detectable cable connector and it is very small and helps snake the cable through tight area. So far just very brief test on RX and TX showed the antenna was great in both. I have a very big car, Ford Excursion, with a huge roof and that provided an excellent ground radial for the antenna and help the antenna perform very well. The blue flashing light when transmitting didn’t bother me and during daytime you can’t quite notice it. I returned the antenna just after one day because of the missing whip.

I had reception issues with my stock radio antennas so I bought one of these and instantly I got at least 5 times the distance out of this one. SWR was actually good right out of the box too. Love it. Worth it. I even bought a magnetic one for my pickup truck.

Box came mangled and the mount was full of dust/dirt. No whip was sent with shipment. Amazon won't send me the whip. I tried emailing Stryker customer support but I doubt they'll be helpful and I'll probably just end up returning this. Disappointed. If I could post this with 0 stars I would

Antenna works well right out the box without any tuning
