Do you ride with a radio or Mp3 player?

[Pioneer007]

XM threw my Yaesu FTM-10SR BluTooth to Cardo Q2. Rider to ham buddy rider / Yaesu FTM-10SR.

Rider to passenger, Q2

Rider to non ham buddy Q2 to Q2.

Just curious how the FTM-10sr is working for you?

FTM-10SR works perfectly once you understand the radio menu settings and what they do.

Their are many variables to vox control.

Mic gain adjustment does effect Cardo Q2 mic sensitivity, not directly but indirectly.

Vox needs set to max, mic gain to low. (10SR)

Vox works best at speeds 35 to 70Mph in fact it works perfectly, the Q2 is extremly noise cancelling.

When stopped at a red light vox takes a bit more audio to trip, a handle bar mounted PTT might be the ticket here.

10sr allows broadcast FM radio in stereo or plug in ipod, mp3 etc.

When listening to music it continues to monitor your ham band frequency.

It will switch over to ham band freq if the squelch breaks, it takes priority then returns to music etc.

For a MtrCycle use the 10SR is the best choice as the 10R. 50watts at your back is overkill and dangerous!

Anyway, it works for me. Contact me Echolink 70cm simplex node 42274

Good Luck!

I have been considering mounting an Mp3 player /radio on the Feeger. I was just wondering what everyone else has already worked out? IPOD's? the ZUNE? if this is a repeat of a topic that has been hashed to death, I apologize in advance.

XM radio with Bose Ear buds attached directly to the XM radio. The Bose Ear buds have three sizes of inserts (Large, Medium, and Small). After listening to the bose for some time now, I can't get myself to buy anyhting else in fear that it will sound inferior to the BOSE. The XM radio cost me $9.99 and the Bose Ear buds were $99.00.

david,

tho i've been out of the audio hi-fi hobby arena for a while, don't worry, bose isn't all it's advertised to be. i'm sure they'll sound better than $10 plugs you buy at target, but bose isn't the end-all speaker company.
