Here for the ride
I saw a set of 2 radios at Dick Smith. GME TX650 for $178. They have ear bud with mic in the lead and VOX. Power is low at 1 watt but for bike to bike over short range that should be fine. The key issue is; will the mic and VOX work okay? If not they would be useless. The price is good and $152 at triginstruments (nz).
Has any one tested these units?

They are currently taking orders for them but they dont have any in stock
They will retail for $79ea and as far as I know they are just the earpiece and mic, and does not include the radio
They also have the PTT (push to talk button) that you can mount on your handle bars

released early.. yahoo..
Fuck thought real biker's don't need to chatter like woman,and if you do go in a cage haha
You'd think so wouldn't you. Seriously though, the Beahr system's in wide use. If you want to talk to someone using it, and who's installed it on quite a few bikes, call Julian at Top Town 0800 422 433. Or call Tony at Challenger Motors! Hell, that's what he's there for!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Also, Ian of http://www.motorcycle-rentals-tours.co.nz/ uses the Baehr system on his own and his rental bikes. All of these guys use and know how to successfully install a system. Jules might have the odd grumpy day (don't we all) but they're all very approachable guys who love to talk bikes.

A ride to Auckland is a major undertaking to get a system installed that may or may not work in one's helmet.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Thanks. Am definitely interested as the price is right but would be good if they had a spec sheet... Do you have the contact details for pre-orders?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show QuoteHi

I have searched the web and found nothing mentioned about the product. If they were going to be available this month or in the next 3 I would expect to be able to read about it on the company site(s). How does this company communicate with its dealers if it doesn't post stuff to its sites. Or maybe I haven't done a good enough search? Don't believe until I read.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Phone Tony and ask to be put in touch with someone using the system in Welly. I'm sure Challenger's got a freephone. Let your fingers do the walking.

The install would still have to be done in Auckland -- unless I can scan and email a couple of bikes and helmets...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Does Tony at Challenger know anything about the new Uniden system or just Beahr?

The only intercom worth buying is a Baehr system. go to his web page and read what customers have written. It is the only one that has worked for me and never had a problem. and yes u will not be disappointed if u rode from wellington. he even has some sets that he may lend u to try out as he supllies LTSA driving testers with sets to talk to bikers under going licence test. they are worth evry cent
What I need is some advice
Ok here is a picture (attached) from the Nolan N102 helmet (that I have), you can purchase a seperate intercom kit, or Bluetooth kit as an add on for them.
What I want to do is to use it for Bike to Bike comms, but all they say is rider to pillion or using a cell phone with the bluetooth (now why would I want to talk on the phone?
The picture attached is from the basic kit instuction manual (for the helmet)
So here is what I think I will need??
A 2.5mmm cable from the mic to a PTT (push to talk) button mounted on the handlebar, and then this plugs into my Radio (like a Uniden PRS)
also
A 3.5 mm cable from the speaker output on the above radio into the 3.5mm socket on my helmet
Does this make sense?
Do any of you radio experts think this is ok or possible?
Cheers Scott
