Hi guys, sorry to resurrect this thread did think about starting a new thread, but this has been really useful so to all who contributed thanks.
So bit the bullet earlier this year and bought a Scala packtalk duo kit, now by my own admission and not being negative about the packtalk I probably didn't give the kit enough time to get used to it. But I found it hard to set up, not intuitive, too easy to switch the radio on and found it to be a massive distraction whilst riding, having to fiddle with it all the time. I know there are a lot of happy users out there but I couldn't get on with it and quickly got rid of them.
So back to Autocom it was, right up until a second SPA circuit board packed up in May this year. So after quite a lot more reading up on this cracking forum decided to have another dabble with Bluetooth.
This time got hold of a pair of Sena S20's pronounced 'Seeena' (that's an important tip by the way).
Well talk about chalk and cheese, easy set up, very simple to use, once on you just don't need to mess with it. Great Volume and really good distance bike to bike. Really different to be able to have a two way conversation not one way over and out radio stuff.
Very impressive, more impressive is the duration the charge lasts. Redrick of this parish and I are pretty much converted to these, don't know why we haven't tried em before.
We have found the best set up is to pair phone to Nav 5 and Sena to Nav 5 don't let the phone recognise the Sena. Never a dropped connection and to be honest better quality sound than the Autocom, do I miss a headset lead do I Eck.
With regards cost, let's call it £170 a set, sounds expensive! Well not trying to justify it but between Rick and I this year excluding the cost of another SPA board, we have had to replace one PTT switch £48, one Bluetooth module £75 one headset loom and mic £48 one replacement 900mm Lead £17.
Very impressed so far can't see the reason to go back to wired anytime soon.
Thanks to all the guys on here that have posted their experiences good and bad regarding this new technology.
