I don't know why it would be any more distracting than any other radio. The buttons appear bigger and easier to hit than the Beofeng you recommend. Which I have, and find I got what I paid for. Not being able to adjust mic gain means most helmet headsets and throat mic's are useless.
I am not using it rag chew. I am using it communicate with the 2 to 6 other ride leaders to coordinate and keep the ride together. The general rule is that we do not discuss anything not related to the immediate ride. This is to keep the riders safe by ensuring we don't miss turns and alert to dangers, like road hazards, auto's trying to overtake improperly, and god forbid: someone going down or having a mechanical failure. Anyway, I asked for radio advice, I have the riding covered, thanks. General usage would be on a single channel all day long, unless we got separated, then we would have designated open repeaters to tune to during the ride. Programming these right next to each other means using the up/down rocker on the handset to change memory slots, or pulling over and retuning. Chuck sent me an email, after remembering that the Kenwood you mentioned is the same approx size, shape and orientation as the KX3. And a bit cheaper, although again, you get what you pay for. I will just have to budget money for the K3 or the KX3 for X-mas or something. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Could-this-operate-on-a-motorcycle-tp7588505p7588522.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
