N7khh. I have been thinking it through. Audio/mic to helmet seems the bigest challenge.

I've got a Yaesu FTM-10R dual band VHF/UHF rig to install. Just need he time to get to it. It uses bluetooth, so I plan on interfacing it with my Scala G9s. Control hea is really small an I will put in the factory GPS location an the main radio under the seat.

KC5EDK, Never thought about operating on the Spyder. Now would be a good reason to drag the trailer all the time. It can carry extra PS and mount my Halo. I have not seen a bugcatcher mounted yet:roflblack:.

I had the same question.

I am wondering if there is someway to either disconnect or A/B the CB and somehow wire my ham radio so I can use the PTT button and talk and listen through my Helmet Mic and Speakers.

I have a 2010 RT-S with the ICOM system and I am hard wired to the bike using the J&M Headset and adapter cable.

This dongle this very similar to what BRP is now using and gives a way to use the PTT on the handlebar

Same reason we would a ham any where, comunacate, get or report weather, in any emergency a ham radio works when cell phones fail. AND the list continues.....

 

[CherryBomb]

Best and easiest thing to do is buy the SENA SR10 and "be done with it".

I've got 2 of the same rig, FTM-10R, I got specifically for my bikes, I just haven't taken the time to mount them. I am trying to decide how and which antenna to mount. Around here most folks stay on 2 meter, so my antenna choices will primarily be for those frequencies, I've also got the bluetooth installed on one of them, so intercom won't be a problem, either. I'm thinking of running the main unit in the trunk, or saddlebag, and run the extension under the seat to the glove box with the head mounted inside, for security. Not sure whether I want to run it full time hot, or turned off with the ignition.
I couldn't have chosen a better callsign than the one the FCC assigned to me, being a retired Army medic, if you take the region number out of my call it becomes KILL U, KI4LLU, how cool is that, lol.
I'll be watching this thread to find out the antenna choices y'all come up with.
