Yes - wind noise picked up by the microphone and transmitted to the other set....

As I say we used a velcro fastened microphone on the inside of the chin guard... on reflection I would opt for the boom style and vevelcro it on to the outside and poke it up and under, easily removalbe...

The PTT button was velcro attached via a small stick on piece of velcro to the side of the helmet, I had mine on my left ear as I thought I can always put my hand on my ear..... made sense really...... We boutght 2 slightly different kits - One had a single wire from the radios upto 2 socket/plugs, then a long PTT wire off to the PTT button on one, and a long wire off to the Spear, mike on the other...

The other kit was a long wire upto a short PTT aand Short Spearer/mike wire.... The short one was great for the helmet, the other would be long enough to put down onto a tank for example... possibly the bars... it would be easy enpugh to extend as it was only a single phono sockect .i.e. back of stereo stuff...

The were plugged into Motorola radios and all kept in a breast pocket in the jackets, giving you the freedom to get on and off the bike.... and still talk without removing helmets..

A real mix of stuff - but the kit all came from a paragliding shop as the fittings are the standard ones used by all PMR radios of a 2.5mm jack for speacker and 1.5mm jack for microphone.... (i think....) all in a moulded fitting at a set distance apart...

The radios are the predecessors to the: Motorola Talkabout T6222 (below)



We use them (can't remember the title) as they take AA batteries - last ages (days!!!) on 3 Duracell batteries - hence don't need to worry about recharging on the bikes - just carry a few spares and pick up others as and when you need then - where in the western world can't you get AA batteries!!!!

Also - one of the few remaining models that has the standard Headphone/microhphone socket as mentioned earlier - later models like the one above have a single 1.5mm socket the does both - meaning you start wiring your own up OR buy motorola stuff to go with it...

not as fancy as these models but hey.....

Hope this helps.

Tony.

PS:



These are what we use - the Motorola TA200.. I think!?!?
