I think that having one of these would make my wife a little more interested in taking longer trips with me. No matter how easy it looks on CHiPs, carrying on a conversation over the wind noise is not an easy task (maybe a full fairing'ed touring bike isn't so bad, but I don't have such a luxury). My thoughts on a desired feature list: vox operation mike/speaker to be (semi) permanently mounted to helmet aux audio input from a walkman type cassette or fm ability to connect with my 2 meter fm 'talkie (or to a CB for those so inclined) LOW PRICE (always plays a part doesn't it) As a lowest possible price option, are the plastic pipe type of intercoms (sold by J.C.Whitney and others) worth their $10 or so price? Or maybe a do it yourself. Let's see, a stereo amp ic, couple of plugs, jacks, handfull of R's and C's, wires, etc....... Thanks, Joe Flake, NCR Corp .......decvax!mcnc!ncsu!ncrcae!flake
