Intercoms

[beechhunter]

Evening all,

I know its been asked a fair few times but here goes. We currently use the cheaper motor bike intercom system but looking to upgrade to either 3m litecom or the stihl coms. We have a mix of protos and petzl helmets just looking for people's experiences with attaching them and general use. We mostly work on the rail and use them in the digger/climbing/grounds if that makes any difference. 

Cheers

Stihl comms fit straight onto petzl lids.

 

The stihl comms are good, but have one major issue, that being when your phone rings (assuming it's connected) it mutes your mic.. so you can be mid way through some important instruction, winch or rigging commands etc, have a phone call and it cuts your mic out. Utterly shit idea.

If you do take the call you also still have all the other chat/noise coming into your speakers as well, also shit.
