Autocom / Radio problem??

[JJ's GS]

Hi guys I need some advice please.

I go out riding with my mate Nigel. We both have Autocom Logic system and Kenwood 3301 radios.
We can talk to each other fine but when we go out with our partners we can't talk bike to bike.

Last week I was 2up, Nigel on his own.
I can talk to my wife (and her to me) fine.
Nigel can hear us talking fine but when he tries to talk to us we can't hear him.
I can hear him trying to transmit but nothing else really, bits of a word here and there.
If my wife disconnects her Autocom lead I can talk to Nigel ok and hear him.

It seems as if the system can't take us all communicating or am I missing something like settings or such like.
Just need to know if it's possible for us all to talk and what's the way to resolve this problem.
I don't have any experience with bike to bike radios etc. so any help would be great.

Many thanks

JJ

are you using PTT (push button normal on the handlebar) or VOX ?

Is the wind cutting in your wife's microphone on vox?

No it doesn't appear to be.

Thanks guys please keep the suggestions coming.

Are you using Aux 1 for bike to bike??

Rider or pillion speech operates the VOX that provides automatic handsfree transmission, when either rider or pillion stop speaking the VOX switches off and the radio is then ready to receive.

Try disconnecting the pillion (mic only) from the helmet. If you can then operate the radio's as normal then your pillion mic is keeping the radio channel in transmit mode, check the Autocom manual for the pillion VOX settings.
