Scala.... which is the best choice?
I'm about to purchase a Scala communication set. I want the dual set (rider & passanger) with Bluetooth. I would also like the bike-to-bike feature. So I've looked at their website and it looks like there a three choices.... G4 Instructor, G4 Powerset & G4 Multiset, but which is the right choice?
I would like to hear what others have and how well they work for you.

G4 Snow! $315 w/free shipping. Bought 3 weeks ago. It rocks! Auto Classic..., Classic Auto..., they are located in Maryland.

I've got the G4... and have ridden it in massive down pours and in a full day of rain...Never an issue.

Almost forgot... The G4's are backwards compatible to the G2 for communication/connections and I really like the Firmware USB update ability another member here mentioned.

I would take a serious look at the SENA units too...
A site sponsor sells them and these units seem really great with some features the Scala is missing:

Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

I am happy with the G4 multiset.. the bike to bike range of 1000 meters is for real....
-
are all the G4's comaptible? Other words....if other bike has the Snow and I have the Multi, would we be able to communicate bike-bike?

Love my G4...love that it gets firmware updates...they can constantly improve any issues...big plus.
The most recent update addressed some issues with the Garmin 550/660...haven't used it since but any update is a good update (so they say)...

I'm missing you on this...nothing changed with the G4 except for an expansion of the G4 line of products...the original G4 is still the same, no?

Powerset vs. Snowset
I have the powerset and like it just fine. It's nice to get updates via the internet plus I haven't had any "waterproof" issues. In looking at the snow set, it seems it has a mic that can only be used in a full face helmet. Whereas, the powerset units with a boom mic can be used with both an open face and full face.
I can also verify that running the speaker wire across the top of the helmet increases the range of the FM.

This is interesting in regards to the FM as there is no other way to put the speakers in anyway....don't you have to run the wires around the inside of the helmet?
I find that more volume is better (I wear earplugs), but I can hear just fine and the phone function is great!

Sounds like the update process is pretty straight forward.
Only SLOW people have to leave on time...
