OMG - The autocom is emmitted a high pitched feedback tone into my helmet drowning everything out

I have isolated the fault to the Autocom or helmet, having disconnected the Zumo, bike to bike radio. The problem is intermitant but once starts will only cease by powering down the Autocom, so I believe its the black box.


rsv gone!

You don't have a Kenwood radio do you? Sure it's not the radio?

If you try transmitting for more than 1.5 minutes with the Kenwood TKs then they beep at you continuously. If you're using vox (which you probably are) then it'll be ambient noise in the crash helmet triggering the vox.

Set the threshold higher?

Something to try.......

It sounds as though it is a faulty cable from the unit to the headset. Give Autocom a call and ask for Paul Wallace as he's seen this thread (but he's not a member on here so cannot reply) and he'll be able to help you out.
