gadget needed!!

Ok guys some of you who wear helmets might be able to help me with this...

Im going to germany in a few months in the locost and my mates going in his tintop. I will be using my ipod for music but I also want to use the walkie talkies like we usually do, but with a headset in my helmet.

Is there an easy way of getting round the problem of 2 audio feeds into one headset? Obv I will need the ipod to mute when my mate taks to me. - or will it be easier to just ignore him?

Cheers
Shaun

Try "Rocket Raido". I think they are in Letchworth. They will make something up for you if there isnt anything in existance already.

Before you go, check the use of the particular radio's and the frequencies they operate on are legal to use in the countries you are visiting.
The penalties for illegal transmission and installation of Transmitting equipment can be quite draconian. In the UK its about £5000 and / or 2 years in prison (last time I looked).
You dont want your holiday marred by getting free accomodation in Stalagluft3

Most EU countries are pretty leinient, however you dont need a brush with the law. Its a bit like Radar Speed Detectors in France... they will get you into trouble.

Its the last thing you need and could turn an enjoyable holiday into a nightmare.






1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Might be worth a u2u to Hicost.

His intercom box allows MP3, phone, intercom all at once. Maybe other inputs aswell.

Cheers,
James

Is it possible to set up a cheap 3 or 4 way intercom using handheld units between cars out on a drive? Reckon it would make traveling to shows or out on a drive more entertaining??
