[QUOTE="bigjohnsd, post: 1403564, member: 86475"] All worked well after initial setup which was seamless.Paired my S7 and TomTom Rider to my unit, listened to Music, mesh intercom with Festar and GPS, all worked seamlessly. Festar paired his Iphone 6s and his Garmin GPS with similar results. My unit exhibited unusually short battery life as in 25% per hour of use. Festar ran his for three days and was still at 50%. I then tried to upgrade my firmware from 4.0 to 4.2 using my ancient Windows 7 powered home computer. Driver took forever to load, once the driver loaded the computer had trouble connecting with the Packtalk unit. Once connected I started the upgrade but it never finished, timing out of losing the connection somewhere during thev process. Tried to use after performing a Factory reset. Got paired to my S7 but no Mesh, no Blue Tooth Intercom, no Second Phone to GPS. Tech Support was wonderful, Shaun spent several hours trying to help me get it going. End result, they are sending me a replacement unit, they want mine back for disection after I receive the new unit. Festar and I took a three day trip to NW Montana, I could listen to music and use my phone, battery still depleted rapidly but the unit worked while charging so that's what I did. Can't wait to receive the replacement and get back to the total experience. I miss the sidetone but lack of sidetone is not a deal breaker when compared with all the other features and benefits of the unit. [/QUOTE]
