Sorry if I write a full novel but I'll try answering all possible questions in 1 hit. 
I've used the Starcom1 for a few years and recently upgraded to the Starcom1 Advance digital which is about half the size and heaps more features.
My main attraction is music as I like the heavy tunes crankin and saves my brain having the same song going through my mind for hours even if it a tune I don't like.
I use an Ipod with a remote in an accessible place to skip through songs and more importantly lower the volume or pause when the road requires more concentration.
Bike to Bike using a 5 watt, Uniden Handheld UHF. Itâ€s only good up to about 100kâ€s then the wind noise or reception makes it impossible to hear…Although up to about 160 you can still hear the truckies on channel 40 giving out road reports
.. Has saved us $$$ on many occasions and probably paid for itself many times over!
Phone conversations at high speeds and the others wouldnâ€t even have guessed I was riding. I now have the Bluetooth phone adapter meaning I can leave the phone in my pocket and it auto connects when the starcom comes on. Using the Nokia 6110 navigator which gives voice directions. Music gets muted during voice directions.
Rider pillion can be heard clearly at high speeds depending on how much wind noise your helmet produces. Itâ€s perfect when youâ€re about to hammer it you just say “hang on!â€
Also good for meaningless dribble like,
Are you cold?
Howâ€s your bum?
Hey, look at that….
Gonna have to stop for fuel soon
I need a pee…
I think I just shit my pants….
Not so good when you do a crazy overtaking manoeuvre and you hear a high pitched deafening squeal
………. Can you not do that or Iâ€ll have to unplug you!
The Starcom digital also has inputs for 2 Ipods so you can both listen to your own tunes.. I refuse to have Pink on my Ipod and she donâ€t like my heavy shit although that problem was solved before I upgraded to the digital by becoming single again.
Try riding with your favourite tunes and youâ€ll never look back. You can do some seriously long hours a day riding and it only feels like half.
Cheers, Manny
