I couldn't stand it. Couldn't wait until this week-end, I had to know.
Test 1: After reading the posts here about it not working I went and plugged up my phone to my J&M and laid it on the fairing behind the lockable storage compartment on the left and called my wife. She heard me, I heard her. I heard her tell me I need to trim some bushes here at the house this week-end. Looking back, I probably should have said I didn't hear that...
Test 2: Came home this evening, hooked up the phone and called my son who was upstairs at the time, then put the phone in the lock box and closed the lid. Funny thing... I heard all sorts of racket while I was doing that. The youngin' answers, says he hears me fine. Hmmmm...
Test 3: Same call, told my son I was going to count to 10, don't interrupt me, just let me count to 10 and then I'll ask you something. Started counting, at 5 I unplugged the upper and lower cords and continued to count, then at 10 plugged the cords back up and asked how it sounded. "Fine.", he said. "Did you notice any volume drop or fluctuation?" "Nope, not at all why?" Well now, ain't this interesting... Obviously my voice isn't going through the J&M, but the mic on the phone is picking my voice up!
Now, the boy keeps his iPod and the few times he used his phone, in a net pocket on the rear of his tank bag. What do you want to bet when I ask his buds about the phone calls he mentioned they're going to say they heard a lot of wind noise?
My humblest apologies for passing along wrong information. My heart was in the right place, but the fact is I was outsmarted by a smart phone, which really isn't that hard to believe if you know me, but hey, I'm honest to a fault. It is what it is. The only thing I can possibly think to add at this point is: daaaaamn the mics on those phones work real good...
