ChatterBox FRS quick update



SWMBO and I got the faulty unit exchanged on Monday.  It charged
properly over that night (the other unit got so hot I thought it would
spontaneously combust!).  Tuesday we went out for a quick lunchtime ride
through the local twisties, exercising the ChatterBox units
bike-to-bike.

They worked very well.

We did find (to no great surprise) that bike-to-bike is half duplex. 
That is, you can talk or listen but not both at the same time.  However,
we'd already learned that rider-to-pillion intercom is full-duplex (talk
and listen simultaneously like a telephone).

Someday I'll jack some tunes in and give that a try.  But it'll have to
wait until I get a tankbag to hold a CD player I guess.

P.S.  I'm real proud of SWMBO.  She only started riding late last year,
and we've been too busy to do much riding over the winter.  She finally
got enough riding time in a short period to jump her skills to the next
level.  As we rode I could see she was taking good lines through the
twisties, at a much greater lean angle than ever before, and carrying
much more speed through the turns than I've ever seen her do before. 
She also had the biggest grin, because she could feel it herself.  :-)
