I haven't had one myself but I have good friends that have had lots of problems with them on their 14 RTs. Have you considered using a Bluetooth helmet communication like Sena or Scala? CBs are so old school.

SpyderAnn Yes I have , in fact I now have on my limited a 10 s and a sm10 dogle , and the inter com works fine , but you are limited as to people you can talk to , where as with a cb you can talk to other riders , truckers and others ' Clint

I have had two units on two different RT's. Both worked great and no issues.

CB problem

We recently bought a 2016 Spyder RT Limited and my husband installed the CB and we have haven't been able to use the CB. We have J&M headsets and we bought a lower cord for it also. We're looking into bringing it to a dealer here and ask that they re install it for us. Any suggestions?

Read about my experiences with a CB in these threads. It is now working great. In fact the other day a GW rider said I was coming through too loud. It might have been the mike setting which I lowered.

With regard to CB vs Bluetooth I agree with your comment about number of people you can talk to and distance. Sometimes in this world newer is not better.

Since you already have BT setup for your helmets take a serious look at the Sena BT interface for handheld CBs. It is a whole lot less expensive but it does have a couple of downsides. You have to use a separate PTT button. There is no way to tap into the bike PTT button. Second, you have an extra item hanging on your bike somewhere, or stuffed into a compartment.

Looks to me that the smart people went with a Midland portable.

CB 2014 RT-S

I have a 2014 RT-S with a BRP installed CB and have had it for two years without any problems. We us it to talk to other bikes, as we ryde with Goldwings at times. We also had one on our 2011 RT-S with no problems. Just letting you know.

CB on YOUR SPYDER

After you recover from the SHOCK :yikes: of the cost of a BRP CB
Give me a call, You can get a high quality CB that you can bluetooth
into your helmet for around $300
1/4 or so the cost of the BRP unit and it will work as well or better

While there are still a few 27mHz CB users in Aust, the most common CB's in use around here these days are UHF, so the BRP CB isn't much good to us!

So I use a handheld unit with a plug in VOX capable speaker/mic that fits into the chin bar of my full face helmet, altho I have been toying with the idea of fabbing up a Bluetooth dongle to connect it to the UClear units in our helmets on occasion; but so far, just having a quiet sit down for a while & waiting for the feeling to pass has sufficed! :thumbup:
