    Whine in Audio on Handeld CB

    Ignacio I have the same issue with the radio muting when adding power. It also fades in and out as you're riding along, depending again on how much power you use on the throttle - which for the FJR we always are adding more power! I've tried different settings, using both the PTT and VOX and...

    CB Squeal!!!

    I had exactly the same problem as you've described with exactly the same handheld cb. I tried all the above fixes to no avail. What did work is not using the small rubber antenna and mounting a better one with a relatively long cable. i went with a firestik (3 footer) and I believe it was either...

    AZ Highway 191

    The Devil's HWY has always ben a favorite. I especially like to do it as a loop ride by coming back through New Mexico via Reserve back to Morenci. Tough to do it as a day ride from Tucson but spending the night in Alpine and returning the next day makes a great overnighter. Hannigan's Meadow is...

    Looks like the '06+ VStream is finally available

    I got mine yesterday and have it mounted but it won't be until Friday before I can actually do a full test ride. Overall, it doesn't look like a barn door attached to the bike - fairly good styling. When screen is full up you do look through it. I'm 5' 10" and 32" inseam. Fortunately, I did have...

    Looks like the '06+ VStream is finally available

    I got a call today saying it was being shipped tomorrow and should have it by the middle of next week. Guess I'll just keep holding my breath a bit longer!!! Will give an update as soon as I can get it mounted and on the road for testing. Bogey

    Looks like the '06+ VStream is finally available

    Some of us are just too gullible and trust that things are suppose to be as they are represented. I've gone this long waiting s oif its still a bit longer I can live with it. But you are correct that they have strung this one along for so long that it is hard to take them at their word.

    Looks like the '06+ VStream is finally available

    Well I took the bite and placed an order. The email response was that it would be processed and shipped within 1-2 days and allow 7-10 days for shipping. Probably just the standard response but will keep all of you posted on actuak delivery. I'll d oa write up on it once its installed.

    Starcom and handheld cb

    Well, I've removed the small antennae from the handheld and ran a firestick from behind the Givi case. I was able to receive and transmit fine. But then I wanted to listen to tunes and with both hooked up, the radio is silenced regardless the setting on the vox. It seems like I will only be able...

    Starcom and handheld cb

    Badcat - that is exactly the same here except that for mine, it works fine with the power source and hand-keying the mike. But as soon as I hook the Starcom1 into it, it just has that squeel and definintely doesn't transmit anything you can understand. I was ready to go try the frrite choke...

    latest news on V-Stream

    I just got am email from National Cycle and the word now is that the V- Stream is still 5-7 weeks away. It seems that at the beginning of November it was only 3 weeks from being ready - looks like they're going backwards with this one!!! So much for having one under the Christmas tree for me...

    Starcom and handheld cb

    I've tried it with the engine both on and off - no difference. It doesn't have that background noise associated with rpm noise either. I've also tried adjusting the vox and no difference there. Next option is locating a different power source to see if that makes any changes. I thought I'd try...

    Starcom and handheld cb

    I've recently installed the Starcom1 advance (Thanks bike effects!) and didn't have any problems setting up for my sirius radio. However, when I hooked up the cobra handheld cb, I get some pretty nasty sounds. I can hear others but I can't transmit anything that sounds legible. I've tried it...

    questions 06 FJR A

    Rock - After talking with you at Star Days, doing a demo ride, and talking with Al Baker about his new AE he had there, I just had to get the FJR. Picked it up on Sunday and unfortunately, work is getting in my way of going on a long ride. But the short stuff has been a whole lot more fun than...
