Radio

[Wookie]

I have wanted for a while now to install a radio ..either fm or dab .
Has anyone done this .. and if so what worked .
I have tried a couple of radio/mp3 combos with poor success.
Help

I just listen to the voices in my head for the most part.  They keep me company but if I really want to listen to music, I use my phone and link it to my Sena SMH10.

Yep I link mine thru my Autocom but it seems to use a hell of a lot of data .
That's why am wondering about a radio .
As for the voices I have a couple spare if you would like em Jim

My music is stored on the phone.  I don't stream it from the cloud.

Well as far as voices go, the more the merrier...

My previous bike was a Goldwing, fitted with radio and God knows how many speakers.
I never switched the radio on!
Not my cup of tea while I'm riding.

If I can get rid of the wind noise that Grant is generating, I'll hear his engine too!
I have a Calsci on its way!

tried this a while ago with a jensen marine fm radio. Reception was very hit and miss.Tried aerial cables running all over the bike but it seems the bike itself does not make a good base plate for reception.Even tried a cb set up with a signal converter.No joy.Tried a harley d hidden antenna (powered} but ended up scrapping the idea.Best i found was to use my phone on a Ram mount.Extend the Headphone cable (it acts as an aerial) then either Get a splitter for headphones or bluetooth ya tunes.I think Jensen marine radio do a portable radio to mount anywhere you like. Havent looked at DAB radio.Maybe worth a try/ Cheers.

grant is used to calsci. I had a calsci xl and w on him before. It was a barn door. Worked though.

Yep Wildy the ground plane seems to be the issue . Soooo me thinks Radio 2 will have to stay at home .. I have a multitude of mp3 players and tunes on twatnav too all piped via Bluetooth to me Autocom ...
Speaking of which HOLY UNDERPANTS VAT MAN.!!!! It's awesome .. up graded this year from a active plus to the full on super pro .
The audio is soo loud compared to the previous one . I installed it and yep turned the volume up full as that's what we had to do previously ... it blew me bloody visor off 
So I turned it down and went for a road test yesterday ........
The clarity and quality of the output is amazing ...took BOB upto a 100 mph .. and as the volume adjusts with speed/ambient noise it was as clear as a bell .. couldn't do more than 70 mph with the last one .
Well worth the cash

Check out the schuberth pro and s2 helmets fitted with a SRC collar they have radio built in you can set the stations .
Worth looking into if your are changing your helmet in the future.
I have the SRC fitted to my pro flipfront helmet paired to my garmin 660 satnav stored with music and set to search local radio I'm happy with it

HOW MUCH?
me,.... I could buy another GTR1000 for that.
I'll stick with the sound of the motor and my running commentary on other road users ancestry, intellect, & perverse sexual practices.
