Well, I would say that GPS, maps, turn sheets etc are much easier to use in a car. This makes everyone knowing the route much more difficult.
Also, a mechanical failure or "fender bender" can be far more serious on a motorcycle than in a car. A "flat" is very dangerous to a rider, but for a car? Meh. Wait for AAA. Us? Pray you can stop before the tire totally fails. So we are a little more concerned about people getting out of contact. Also, I don't know the terrain where you are, or if comms span the entire group from front to back or just car to car. Scalas and the like do the job for small groups of friends wanting to jabber on the ride while one or two bikes away, but we are looking for reliable Command and Control ability. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Could-this-operate-on-a-motorcycle-tp7588505p7588538.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]
