Hi, Do you have more details on the upgrade? like where you hooked up power to it, the mechanical fuel pump "blank up", etc....?

The Drok 100W switcher is next to be installed... just waiting on a second battery eliminator housing from China... On battery it power works great!!! Good signal reports, very little packet loss (from a repeater over 30 miles away) and plenty of receive audio! Had to go with the PRYME BLU...

NO MORSE CODE REQUIREMENTS ANYMORE!!! start here: https://www.arrl.org/getting-licensed it's really not all that complicated these days... hope you give it a shot!! Rich N2PPN

. Here is the DMR radio (Motorola XPR 6350) on the bike.. The PRYME BLU Bluetooth adapter is the "thinghy" on the top right side of the radio (where the external speaker/microphone would attach).... it provides the Bluetooth audio to and from the SENA SMH-10 on my helmet, the Push To Talk...

Got the DMR radio hooked up on the bike and took it out for a "field test"... Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) or MotoTRBO as it used to be called, is definitely better than analog on the bike!! With the same power out (4 Watts) and same antenna (Diamond NR 770H) I am able to hit repeaters 30 miles...

Just wondering how many other Ham Operators we actually have here on the CGW forums... What's your callsign, and waddya run on yer bike?? Me, I'm N2PPN and I am soon to be running a Motorola XPR6350 MotoTRBO Digital HandHeld/Portable 4 watts UHF with bluetooth TX & RX audio and wired PTT... All...

FYI: In my design and setting up the new Handheld/Portable Digital Mobile Radio, I determined I needed a more stable power source for the radio... I found this little gem...

("knocking wood") Haven't had any real problems with the stereo system... If I am stuck in stop and go traffic and the 600 Watt subwoofer is "thumping" a bit too much, the battery voltage dips down... but as soon as I get back up to speed it returns.... If and when it happens, I have my...

@Sledge, The bags are Shoei Saddle bags as is the trunk... In 1982 when I bought my wing from Honda of Mineola, it was a '81 leftover, AND it was NAKED!... Back then you could only purchase the fairing, but not the trunk/saddlebags.. (except rivet by rivet in pieces which was cost prohibitive)...

UPDATE: After going back and forth with the folks at SENA Bluetooth regarding the incompatibility issues I faced trying to get a relatively NEW handheld radio (Motorola XPR6350) interfaced with their SR10 bluetooth hub I had been using previously (with older and some newer Chinese radios), I...

There is a nice thread going on in the Goldwing Chat forum about HAM RADIO... seems WingAdmin just got his ticket... (https://goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=25611&sid=713b36139f7a7d9077544015f4a2f703&p=143309#p143309) I forgot to mention that the main reason to use a HT is that...

Hi BAM, If you go to my album https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/album.php?album_id=871 you can see my setup... A HT is the way to go with a mobile antenna... I use a Diamond NR-770H antenna and a dual band Woxoun HT... I am switching over to a Motorola XPR Digital HT in a couple of...

Naw, just good "ole English... Most of the Ham Operators I speak to speak english.. All the needed parts are on their way from all over the globe... should be rerady in a week or two... Gotta get ready for the "Blizzard" coming our way tomorrow... SnowBlower to the ready!!! Rich :moped...

Hi, As some of you know I am also a Ham Radio Operator. I am going to swap out my dual band (VHF/UHF) radio on the Wing for a DMR one this spring.... I have been "playing around" with DMR and am impressed by it's better performance over analog radios I have used in the past. The mere fact...
