I have an Autocom fitted into the bike. It serves a few functions:-

1. Allows me to listen to music on long trips by allowing me to plug an MP3 player into it.

2. Allows me to talk to my pillion.

3. Allows me to talk to other riders fitted with a UHF System.

Performance:

Communicating pillion to pillion, at metropolitan speed limits is excellent, however at high speed the the VOX system may need to be adjusted to make it less sensitive to wind noise.

Rider to Rider, relies on the use of a UHF radio of your choice, although unless you choose to use a PTT switch ( Push To Talk )  then you will need a radio that supports VOX. I have used a 1/2 watt radio with inbuilt antenna in the past and found it has a range of maybe a hundred feed.... pretty useless. I since have purchased a switchable .5 / 1 / 5 watt radio and have fitted an external antenna for better range.

The antenna for talking rider to rider is a ground independant type.

Mobile Phone, I have used this option a couple of times but find talking and riding too distracting.

Music, sounds good, although once again I find it a distraction unless slabbing it along the highway.

This is what it all looks like fitted. the radio it tucked away inside the ducktail.
