Where's your riot shield?

[Andy Collins]

the ptt would be better mounted on the rim of the helmet somewhere,i wire down the sleeve may be a PITA and in the summer mostly wear t-shirts so it wouldn't work at all

 

Fair point there birchboy, Hmmm we'll get there! So we need summer gear and winter gear now! i never said it was brilliant, just trying things out.

[Nick Waring]

Its looking good so far though Big A,

[Andy Collins]

cheers beaver, the clarity is better than i expected, the proof is in working conditions tho!!

[Andy Collins]

Pressel now mounted on ear defender assembly, I know a lot of climbers prefer to use ear plugs, so probably wouldnt like this!!

[scudmonster]

Ok so the cable runs down the sleeve ok, not too short, with the ptt on the wrist. The ear pads sit back in the ear defender so no unnecessary pressure on the ear, and the boom mike picks up the sound ok. Cant use the Vox as I think the noise of the saw will trigger it, but I'll test that tomorow. If it doesnt rain snow hail too much I might even do a test climb with it to iron any glitches

I need the best I can get for working in the mountains. Just tried out some Kenwoods, £200 for each handset - and the range still is no where near good enough. anybody got any recomendations?

my bluetooth are excellent, but the range is 200m. i dont know if that is enough. you can have a conversation no bother if someone is feeding chipper and other is working saw. really clear and it muffles out all other noises.

No good mate, my teams are working up in the welsh hills, often 2 - 3 miles apart. I was told these expensive handsets were the best / most powerfull I could get, but we cant get more than about 2 miles...
