Re: [ST] Bike to Bike Communication

[Kevin.Dicks@xxxxxxx]

Good point on the Starcom - that was anything thing my buddy hated...
Music cuts out entirely and then there's a long wait (well when it happens
all the time it feels like a long time) and then full on.  Not so much a
problem with the radio but it is with the radar detector which as we all
know can chirp a lot in urban settings.  On the Autocom,  the sound only
goes down 50% or so and then comes back on fully blast nice and gently...

Oh yeah, when the cell is in 
use, VOX doesn't apply. The mic is on 100% of the time.

I didn't have a FRS radio, but the VOX seemed to function well.  It cuts
the 
music to 50% volume.  I'd give it a try.  Install it, then run 70-80 MPH
to 
get the sensitivity and volume adjusted.  It'll probably take 2-3 trys to 
get it right.  Just pop of the seat and turn a knob.

That's an important point RE the VOX.  With the Starcom, it cuts the music
out completely, and then 5 sec after you've finished talking, BOOM, its
back at full volume.  I switched to PTT for the FRS because of the issues
of dealing with the VOX sensitivity.  Like the Autocomm, you have full
duplex communication with the Rider-pillion and cell phone.  I haven't
used the latter, mainly because I have NO desire to answer the phone when
I'm riding.  I'd rather just ignore it all together.
