[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1257768, member: 3828"] If that was a Starcom1 Advance (analog), the First trick is to turn the VOX control all the way down to off. It was not well designed and wasn't really needed as long as you keep your music volume down to a reasonable level. If you aren't listening to music, all the better. Second trick was to leave the volume controls and sensitivity settings at mid range or not much higher, and turn the sound source's volume up higher to an appropriate level. There is an Automatic Gain Control circuit that is supposed to increase the volume when the background noise level goes up (like at higher speeds) but that will not work if you have the Starcom1 volume up too high. Third trick is to have the microphones directly in front of your mouth, preferably almost touching your lips (though that can be irritating if it does) 4th trick is to try to reduce the wind noise inside your helmets hitting those microphones. The mikes are essentially "open" all the time so if you have a lot of wind blowing on your partner's mike you'll hear it. We still use out ancient Starcom1 Advance. Works better than the bluetooth headset solutions that I've tried (Cardo Scala Rider and Sena SMH10) [/QUOTE]
