I didn't realize where you were from. I was in Kentucky a week ago for my boy's graduation from basic and I had my Ham equipment with me but I guess my mind was preoccupied with other "stuff"....I am clueless when it comes to morse code but I am November 3 Sierra Gulf Whiskey

I am looking at new Yaesu FTM-10 for the Ultra. Looks like a nice radio in a small package. I want to do more research first.

KC4WDO here. That Yaesu FTM is some high tech stuff, good radio. I like to run code once in a while off an old small 4watt Heathkit and inverted y, I work the world on that baby in the wee hours. If you get it, you'll like that Yaesu.

Sorry to bring this post back to the original topic, but it is of interest to me.

Has anyone tried the Scala Rider?

This is their claim.
The SCALA RIDER Q2 is the latest and greatest among the SCALA RIDER™ line of Bluetooth® helmet mounted headsets. This technological gem allows bikers to receive GPS voice instructions, communicate with the passenger on the back seat, to conduct calls on their mobile phone and listen to the embedded FM radio. Last but not least, the Q2 offers biker-to-biker communication.

Scala Rider website.

I have the Scala Rider headset that came with my Tomtom Rider 2 GPS. This particular model headset will only operate the GPS and phone. You need the Teamset or SCALA RIDER Q2 for radio to radio bluetooth connectivity.

Thanks for the info! I've been trying to find something my wife and I could comunicate with since she has her own bike. I ordered a set of blue ants last night. I didn't think the price was so bad about $120.00 each. Just one question. Can you buy a backup battey that I could plug in while riding and change out every four hours?

Just tryed out the blue ants. they are excellent!! My wife and I now can talk whenever we want to and it makes our trips alot safer since we now have four eyes that can watch for problems ahead it has saved us many close calls already.

Hi Mako,
I am told by my gal that I am overly optimistic, but have you T/W BlueAnt if there is separate battery pack or inverter in the works that may run off your 12V bike battery to extend run time? A USB plug end similar to BlueTooth Motorola handsfree sets use to recharge on the fly thru cigarette lighter cord would be nice.

Aftermarker OEMS do listen to Big HD & Gold Wingers (yes the other brand "H") because of their huge following & visibility? Usually if there is enough feedback from users the OEM will "--fix it in their next release..."
