Re: Sena BT Headset - With Yaesu and Intercom
Norm,

I also have BT capable Hearing aids (Oticon) but they don’t pair with just anything. In my case - they pair with cell phones because cell phones are designed to pair with hearing aids. They also pair with a couple of Oticon specific devices - one that plugs into my TV audio output (Nice!) and a small multi-function device. This device has a clip and can be worn as a remote mic (like my wife across the room). However it can pair with other devices and act as a go-between. In my case I paired it with my Yaesu FT2DR (through another BT adapter). So I can talk through my FT2 and get the audio directly in my hearing aids. This device then also acts as my Mic back to the radio. In describing all this, I realized I could probably pair this device with my FTM-350 and do the same thing - but my experience has been that, ultimately, in my helmet, with all the outside noise, I still wouldn’t be able to hear that well. What I do with my Sena is use a Bose Noise Cancelling headset plugged into the Sena (and no hearing aids). With that I can hear the audio very well. As for using BT with ham radios on motorcycles - there are still only a few radios with BT capability. In the case of Yaesu - it’s BT is more Yaesu specific - not exactly standard protocol. It works with my 350 - and with the FTM-10 (Lu Vencl has a lot of experience with the 10). But not perfectly or 100% reliable. Mark Kanzler is also using a different radio with BT - a couple of folks have discussed that radio (which I’m drawing a blank on right now.) In any case - good luck....

Re: Sena BT Headset - With Yaesu and Intercom
Great Information. I'm interested in the in the path to BT integration. One of the things I have going right now is my hearing aids which are BT enabled. They work with my phone and BT Transmitters. They do have the same problems of "one at a time pairing". Glad MARC is continuing to be a reservoir of good data. It will save a lot of angst and money. Norm N9ZKS Central Illinois

Re: Sena BT Headset - With Yaesu and Intercom
A “B radio”??? And what is a “Freewire”?

Re: Sena BT Headset - With Yaesu and Intercom
Interesting. I recently had my Sena 20s stolen (along with my helmet) and replaced it with a 10s. With the 20s, I used a Freewire to interface to the radio on the bike. I was able to use both the freewire and the intercom to Julie at the same time, although she could not hear the radio. Now, with the 10s, I have successfully paired the freewire and it seems to work fine. But I have not had the chance to try it at the same time as the intercom with Julie's 20s. Hopefully, we can get out this weekend and test it. John, let us know how things work out. I am eventually going to upgrade my bike radio and it will, naturally, be a B radio.

Sena BT Headset - With Yaesu and Intercom
Greetings,
A few of us have been using our Sena BT headsets with our Yaesu radios with good success. However, there have been some limits. The Sena considers the radio a (Cell) “Phone”. As such it treats the BT connection a little differently than it does the Intercom. Basically - the problem has been - when connected to the radio - we haven’t been able to use the Sena for anything else - in particular the intercom. Since we have a small group going on a “socially distant” (and safe) ride this weekend - and most, but not all, of us have Sena units. However 3 riders have radios and 2 of those have Sena. So, the challenge was to figure out if there’s a way to use both - radio and intercom. After some testing I succeeded - to a degree - to get both to work - if not simultaneously. Basically it means (with a clean reset) - pair the intercom first, then pair the radio (as 2nd phone). Then I can toggle back and forth - sorta. When listening to the radio - and intercom “request” comes in. I acknowledge that request and am now on intercom - but no radio. Once I'm done with intercom - I have to key the Tx on the radio - then I’m back in listen mode. I can’t hear the radio while intercom is active. I found this to work with both the 20S EVO and 10C EVO - but not reliably with the 50S. (I’ll test the latter next week after this ride.) If anyone is interested, let me know and I’ll send you the step-by-step instructions. Let me know if you have any questions. John, N6JCB Westchester, CA

Covid Vaccine Fact Sheets
Greetings,
In case anyone is interested, my wife has given me two fact sheets (essentially the same) from the two approved providers of the vaccines being distributed in the US. Both are published (or at least signed) by the manufacturers - but approved by CDC. My wife is a long time school nurse and is putting on full day workshops on the Covid virus and related topics to school nurses all over the country. So she stays very up-to-date with the latest goings on with this thing in order to provide current info in her workshops. (Nice to have an in-house expert….:-) If anyone is interested, e-mail me offline and I’ll be happy to send them a long. And, FYI, since she also works in UCLA Healthcare, she has already received her first shot with the Pfizer vaccine. Her only reaction was soreness for a day or so in the shoulder where the shot was administered. As always, your mileage may vary. Let’s all be safe out there - especially now that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, John, N6JCB Thanks, John

I'm looking at two routes - one on only the Santa Monica Mountains - about 3 hours round trip (from my house) - the other up to Ojai and back through the mountains (hills actually) - about 4.5-5 hours. Let me know if you're interested and I can send the .GPX files for both routes. John, N6JCB
PS - It's only about 30 miles from Glendale to my house - for those living in Glendale....;-)

I am!... heheheheh... I haven't ridden since December 22... rode over 500 miles between Thanksgiving and Christmas.. amazing and weird winter in Minnesota. Average temperatures for this week is 24 degrees.. low is around 0... Not this year.. We are hovering in the lower 30's.. however the Sun angle is so low that the snow doesn't melt.
Enjoy the ride people! The lakes are covered with ice... but due to nothing below zero for temps .. the Warning is Not to drive your truck out on the ice.. some do... and fish the truck out of the lake for $$$
