Intercoms

[Tony Davis]

I've been asked by a few people about intercoms, as grayytronics is around £520.00 incl vat

Any one know what's available, other than Peltor.

Try having a look at starcom

but you can plugin everything
PMR/VHF/mobile and even your MP3
sound quality is very good

This is the SP model, it's pretty slick as it's a sort of open/full face hybrid!

 

[BluFin]

mmmh!!

Red Crash hats

intercom

is there a secret Competitive outing planned , I wonder?

 

[cider daze]

how much for complete unit full face. looks good

 

[Tony Davis]

The full face retails for £347 + vat, the only problem is the language barrier, so we're unsure if that includes the intercom.

I should have some more details by Thursday pm!

I wouldn't be suprised if some sort of boatmad discount would be available!

 

[Tony Davis]

mmmh!!

Red Crash hats

intercom

is there a secret Competitive outing planned , I wonder?

Possibly, maybe the odd basic race!

 

[roofer]

i think you will find the intercom is not included, the basic stilo intercom is £469.75 and add ons come to another £400. ouch!

 

[Jon Fuller]

We tried Peltor on Richard Struttons 4 litre cat, the whole system was hopelessly inferior to the Greytronics setup, which, IMHO is superb, and well worth the money.

intercom ...

Autocom are reconned to be the dog's danglies by the motorcycle fraternity - not sure if they'd transfer easily into the marine world ....

 

[Johnny Rocket]

DS Developments www.dsdevelopments.co.uk do some serious intercom kit. Might be worth a look.

 

[CB1]

The only problem with graytronics is that they will not supply offshore intercoms any more. Spoke to Bob Gray on thursday and he said its not worth the hassel anymore!!!

 

[Jon Fuller]

That's a shame!

currently have a intercom being design being tweeked by some boffins. unfortunately won't be in production for about 2 months. a few of the ocr guys saw the prototype at windemere last year. will be waterproof to ip54 and around £250 with options for vhf. will have all the usual adjusments. looking into making it wireless however price TBC.
