FANTASTIC radio - mounted on my bike... as well as a few mates' bikes.
In SA these radios proved themselves over distance and were remarkably good in mountainous area's. During our trip in France - we also tried to stretch the range and it was a blessing to have for the bike--bike comms.
Amageza's coming!! .... and one of the equipment requirements will be a suitable PMR Radio that has the capability of increasing the output power - the Zartek ZA-708 is recommended.
For those riders that already have this fantastic radio - they will back me with it's reliability and ease of use - even more so if you have the Helmet headphones & microphone installed! (Ask Any Ross :mwink
