I suggested this idea to Reggy, and he didn't know if it was doable and suggested I post it here.
The BRP CB radio kit is too :cus: expensive. There's not any real good way to use any other cb kit on the Spyder. What I proposed was some sort of wiring harness that would connect into the left hand instrument cluster that could intercept the PTT button on an RT and forward that to a headset jack that supports external PTT buttons on a cb or 2 way radio. Assuming that works, one would just need a wire to easily connect a headset to get audio from whatever kit you are using, which you could stash inside the bike, trunk, or wherever.
I guess the crux of whether or not it is possible is whether or not the PTT has a dedicated circuit that could be intercepted with such a harness, and whether there are cb kits can can be used with external PTT buttons. :dontknow:
