Re: [ST] Bike to Bike Communication

My mate has the Starcom unit...

There's not a lot to choose between them - the lack of sidetone on the
Starcom (which I gather they have now 'added') is a major bug bear with my
mate...

The past 2 seasons we've been using RF Limited/Motocomm headsets, one with

a Cobra 955vp FRS/GMRS radio, one with RF Limited's own little "Sidekick" 
radio.  The speakers are thin and usually fit well into the ear pockets on

most helmets tried (Arai, Scorpion) with no problem.  The mics are not 
noise cancelling (what do you want from a $50 headset!) but work well 
until highway speeds when wind noise and lack of amplification to the ear 
become a problem (we do wear earplugs).

I too am watching this thread to help decide between Autocom and Starcom. 
New Autocom units sure look nice.
