- handheld.
-
- What do y'all recommend? Is there a FAQ on this, or a list?

- The Soundblaster card comes with software that allows easy recording via
- the microphone input ... You can set the sample rate, and other
- characteristics ... don't see any reason this couldn't be easily done
- without any modification, except to run a audio output from a radio to
- the input of the Soundblaster card.

- Hi Rich, I would suggest you get either a J&M or Cyclecomm. Mind you I have
- not used either yet... I am just going by what others are using. The hand
- mike has a couple of disadvantages... 1. You should have both hands controlling
- the bike (you knew that :^) and 2. Wind noise. Standard mikes are way too
- sensitive to use on a bike. Ever heard someone talking mobile on 2M with
- the windows rolled down in the car? All reports I have heard about the J&M
- are great.. this is the new model 157 as I remember. Some like the Cycle-
- Comm and others think they don't hold up as well as the J&M. Both seem to
- be priced about the same depending where you see the J&M's (~$159) for the
- mike and stereo earphones that go inside the helmet. If you are looking for
- ham only (no music) you can get by with the less expensive J&M's at about
- (~$129 or less) BUT these don't have their new mike that is more efficient
- at cancelling wind noise.
-
- I will be installing one in my helmet this weekend (J&M). I have a bit more
- of a problem in that I have a Biefe Modular (one with the swing up chin guard)
- and that requires a longer microphone cable. I'll have to cut and splice a
- longer mic cord in and deal with an extra loop of cable that will always be
- in the way. It's either that or go to an open fact unit and see if I can
- make that work.....
-
- Hope that helps.... There is a group that meets on Tuesday afternoons on both
- 20M and 40M. The 20M group meeta at 2200Z at 14260 usually + because that is
- the IOTA frequency and at 2300 on 7.260... this is usually the one I find
- myself checking into. Also there is a club in SoCal (L.A.) M.A.R.C. (
- Motorcycle Amateur Radio Club) It is at an inconvenient time for most day to
- day workers because of the time... currently 1600Pacific Coast time.. most
- people are still at work at that time.
-
- Hope this helps some.... sorry I carried on so long.....

- That's right. If it were the other way around, and you had to
- ask *not* to get a new call, the FCC would doubtless be faced with
- a lot of requests for reinstatement of a previous call by those who
- failed to read the form completely. This way, the only possible
- reason for wanting a call reinstated would be that the applicant
- read the form but didn't understand it, which is a pretty weak
- reason and the FCC could simply refuse to process a reinstatement.
