Bike-to-Bike Radio Recommendation?

[JackDM]

Hi folks,

I'm looking for radios for me and my brother for when we go out riding, I've looked at most bluetooth headsets and find that they all have the same issues - require line of sight to work, which is a pain when you could be separated driving through a city and all it takes is a sprinter van to break up communication!

Is their any bike-to-bike radios that use UHF or suitable means other than bluetooth?

They are ok best with line of sight they won't just stop working with a van between you

The wife goes through the house to open the back gate and we can still talk through the headset

we got Sena Bluetooth works fine , van or any thing won't stop it working, works up to a good distance to.

Bluetooth nominal range is about 10 metres and will pass through several brick walls easily so a sprinter van will not interfere with the signal, most bike intercom units easily exceed that. Scala units quote approx 1 mile.

If you get a Harley FLHTCU you could enjoy CB communication.

Since the range of Bluetooth is so small, they must only be using Bluetooth to connect the headset to phones/satnavs. To achieve usable range, they must be using another technology, probably just VHF with some digital encoding going on for the pairing.

If we'd had b-2-b comms this weekend I'd currently be hunting out divorce lawyers.

A group of us round here use Scala PackTalk they work quite well the DMC bridge works well if there are several bikes. I do think there is a market for something allot better than whats available...
