PhatDad Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hey all. I'm interested in finding out peoples experiences with the autocom and midland g7 radio. From what i can gather it works ok but it sounds as though vox doesn't work so well so people end up buying PTT buttons too.So let me know what you think.

Roadtorque Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Don't use autocom, just radios for B2BWith head set & mike, I have to use a PTT buttonas VOX will not work, VOX only works when used as a hand set,I think a lot of radios may be the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatDad Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Damn it. I was hoping this wouldn't be the case as I either have to buy an expensive Kenwood radio that does work VOX or buy a cheap Midland radio AND PTT cable. These modular systems are alright if the modular bits didn't cost an earth. The bloody cable from autocom unit to radio is going to be about £13.

drmike Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Don't know about bike to bike, but for music or rider to pillion Autocoms are absolutely brilliant. My GF and I can converse easily at 140mph (in Germany, obviously). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Not sure if this is the sort of thing you're looking for:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOTORCYCLE-MOTORB ... 240%3A1318I'm getting a set sometime next month (hopefully for my birthday if family decides to be kind!). They include a VOX function as well as PTT. I'm dubious about the 12km claim mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatDad Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Cheers dude, the problem is that a lot of radios that have vox capability don't have that ability when a headset is plugged in. I don't think the G7 radio's can do it and the only one I know of if the Kenwood expensive ones. I was hoping someone could disprove me on the Midland G7 front.
