Star Com
 

I purchased Star com because of the advertisment that they stood behind their product. Well, Mine never worked right and still doesn't. The only comment I got from Star Com was that they had never had that problem and I must be doing something wrong. Problem: if the connecting from the connector to the helmet is jiggled, it quits working. Star Com repeatedly offered to replace the wire if I sent it back but it would have to be insured and they would not be responsible if the wire had been damaged. I now run another brand.

I sold the Star Com to my brother-in-law who is an electrician and radio nut. He couldn't get it to work and sold it back. For half the price, buy something else.

So What are you using now and how is that working out for you?

Yep i bought two units, with pmr radios, i have to say they are rubbish,,

We used them bike2bike, cannot hear the other bike when it was 30feet away,

I dont even take it out of the garage now,,

I use the MP3 Player or the Radio function, with a set of the small ear headphones instead of ear plugs, (which i always carry)

If we need to communicate when out on a ride, i use the two finger approach again, or pull over and shout,

I gave up on spend any more cash, as it appears when a rider gets upto 80 and onwards the noise from a Arai overides any sound from speakers,

So i sing to myself what a wonderful world :scooter:

Chastterbox 50. works well.

I assume that you are talking about a starcom1. I am sorry to hear about your problems. We also had some issues with the plugs not sitting and it turning off the unit, but they were rare and the rest of the time they system worked a treat (rider to pillion). All in all i am very happy with the system. Good luck with what ever you decide to go with.
