LE,

The main problem with Voice activation on an FRS is that the wind noise in a helmet is loud enough to activate it.

The voice activation levels between the FRS radio's and the chatterboxes are designed for two seperate and distinct purposes..

We may be better off doing a GP with a place like BK and getting a bunch of chatterboxes..

I'm interested but not completely sold on it.. I want all the specs and info first.

Guys, I've talked with Trevor at BK and I think we might be able to get a site group purchase going if there's enough interest.

Guys,

An FYI. I talked with Trevor at Burnaby Kawasaki and mention they are very hesitant to sell these. They have sold dozens and have something like an 80% return rate.. Either people buy them and hate them or some peice is broken.

Apparently the quality of the units isn't very good. He said for $300 you should expect it to work out of the box and a high percentage don't.

He mentioned trying the "Collet" (Or something like that) or the FRS communicators from Radio Shack.. apparently he's talked with a few riders that have made these work for about $100.

IF we still want to do a group purchase he said he would. He mentioned two options.. First a discount for a group purchase, or sell them to us at his cost but they won't support (we'll have to send them back to the manufacturer for warranty).. He just mentioned the second option.. not sure if it's really possible though.

Honestly, I'd suggest some more research be done.. either on the Collet's or the FRS systems..

Jim.
