    No problem Bob! I appreciate hearing the warning beacon as much as anyone.

    You can email all your info for the club and we will get it listed. The web list isn't updated all the time, but we will try to get in on right away for you. It is mainly a list of clubs that have been assigned channels and ordered radios in the past.

    Ryan, I have the DMS 900 Platinum stereo BV2s unit currently, my wife has a DMS 900 stereo platinum modular. We have had the older models as well and really enjoy the product when on the snow. I was planning to buy her a new unit as she has changed to the BV2s helmet this year as well.

    Can you comment on how the blue tooth tech is going to work regarding any other interference from other sled electronic emissions// interference from hi Tension power lines?


    On the web site I noticed the cellphone conversation requires a change of channels, I assume the normal two way radio conversation that we have while riding, will cut in over the blue tooth music transmission as the wired music unit does?


    Also does the blue tooth pull more battery power down than the wired version does?

    Thank you for any input.

    Best regards

    RR

    PS I noticed the Blue tooth unit is backed out a few weeks currently with limited production?

    If she already has DMS unit, you only need different speakers and an extension cord to use her modular DMS on a BV2S helmet.

    We do not expect a lot of interference from outside sources. The Bluetooth is a low output power transmitter, but would be effected by a microwave oven nearby. It is limited to about 10 feet of operating range, so it's receiver is not very sensitive.

    The radio will cut out transmission/reception when the phone rings. Unless you are using your phone through a Zumo or TomTom GPS, you do not have to change the channel, or activate the private mode. This is because the GPS's are using an old Bluetooth protocol and do not support streaming stereo, or the new A2DP protocol.

    The cell phone cuts everything out, radio (or passenger) transmission/reception cuts out music from either Bluetooth or direct plug in.

    The Bluetooth will use more power than the standard plug in, but we are still seeing over 6 hours when using streaming audio.

    The Bluetooth will be back in full production by the end of next week.

    GTSE, the Collett radios do not work with the Chatterbox units. We are on 900 MHz, where the Chatterbox are on the FRS frequencies in the 450 MHz range.

    I've been using a Samsung M610 phone with excellent results. It has a built in MP3 and streaming stereo, as well as the phone. This is an excellent phone for both purposes.

    If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

    I too use the OEM Yamaha bags. I've had the same set since '03 and have never ridden without them.

    They stand up very well, and have no wear on them at all. A little stiff @ -35, but the zippers still worked without trouble.

    Bobler, you would need a Snofone DMS for the BV2S. The DMS is a detachable mic system that sits on the mask, make sure you tell them you have the BV2S, as they also require different speakers to fit inside that model.

    The TXi would use a regular Snofone with the voice tube microphone system.

    The Snofones are your basic 2 way radio, without any hook-ups for music or cell phone.

    Both are available with the club channel option (free of charge) for channel 2.
