So when you take your helmet or pack off you need to unplug the junction box cable? Might have to try one.

Why would I have to do that? The mic's around my throat, and the radio's in my coat pocket. :confused: :dunno:

So is the speaker is built into the throat mic or is there an earpiece? I just find that if you have an ear piece it is hard to keep it where you want it when putting your helmet on.

Have you ever checked for interference between your beacon and radio? Read somewhere that if a radio is within 30cm of a beacon, it causes static interference.

Yes, the beacon will key your radio when on the lower frequency channels (146 MHz neighbourhood).

Not sure on its effect of beacon accuracy, but definitely annoying as fawk.

Would be easy enough to test.
But I migrated back to the same channels as BCA uses as I know they have spent alot of time testing.

How well do those throat mics work? How do you engage the talk button? That sounds like a lot better mix then the external ones.

They work really well. Been using them for years. The PTT button is inline with the throat mic and I just clip it to my coat collar. Most of them also have an optional remote button you could velcro to your helmet or wherever. I use that one on my bike handle bar in the summer. I tried the plastic ones with two pickup mics first, but I found they chafed my neck. The soft wrap around ones in the link I put up are the way to go. The best part.....no background noise. You can talk with your sled running and all the receiving radio will hear is your voice.

So is the speaker is built into the throat mic or is there an earpiece? I just find that if you have an ear piece it is hard to keep it where you want it when putting your helmet on.

There's a clear plastic tube and an earpiece that comes from the throat band. Kinda Secret Service looking. Usually need to shorten the tube where it goes around your ear when you first get them. Easy to do. I've had the electronic ear bud type before and yes, those ones don't stay put very well. These ones do, especially under a balaclava.

I use it on my radio at work as well. Now the operators can actually hear what I'm saying when I'm out in the plant.

How about the Rino. Will it work for road frequencies?
