[QUOTE="CopB8, post: 958702, member: 1181"] UNCLE!!! Well, yesterday was our test and tune day for the Starcom. I bought the Howard Leight 33dBa earplugs, packed a flashlight, screw driver, and the wife on the bike and headed to a (somewhat) deserted stretch of road in our area. When we arrived there I'd already turned VOX completely off and set the volume at the 1/4 mark. both mics were set to low sensitivity and the balance was centered. I'd repositioned the helmet mics to be directly in front of the lips and as high inside the helmet as possible. We did about a dozen moderate to high speed runs (70-110). One direction with the wind, which was blowing at about 20mph, the other against the wind. Each loop I'd make an adjustment. First we did volume adjustments, and then mic sensitivity adjustments. Basically when it was all said and done at 70 it was good, at 80 it was ok, at 90+ with the wind it was marginal, at 90+ against the wind it was horrific. All this brings me back to my original thought of installing an on-off switch. When we're boogeying I'll be able to turn it off without disconnect the helments, when cruising it'll just be a click away. Thanks for everyone's help and input. If anyone finds the perfect solution let me know. [/QUOTE]
