Couple of questions about Bluetooth communicator use

<< < (2/3) > >>

normkern:
Learned something yesterday from Jim Park and found out what I was doing "wrong." I paired my 30K with a 20S user who in turn paired with the other 20S user. We connected and we were fine. Then Jeff Dolence arrived with his 30K, so he and I connected in public mesh mode and created a private mesh and entered it. I could talk to and hear everyone, Jeff could only talk to and hear me. Likewise, the 20S users could not hear Jeff. Before reading further, do you recognize what I did wrong?

Here's the answer: IF I had paired with the 20S, disconnected from it, and THEN connected with Jeff in Private mode BEFORE reconnecting to the 20S, everyone would have been able to talk to everyone else.

OK, how many of you would have figured this out on your own? That little bit of information is not in the 30K manual, and no one in tech support would know it either. Can the average person figure out stuff like this? Can the average person remember all these little hoops that one has to jump through to get things to work?

More proof that Jim is above average.

Maybe one should actually examine what they want the device to do.  When I first bought an Autocom and also cobbled up some microphones and headsets I "thought" I wanted bike to bike.  After a while I figured out that what I really wanted was to hear my GPS directions. listen to music and maybe connect to my cell phone (the jury is still out on that one, did you ever have your phone go off in a middle of some twisties??).  I've also come to the conclusion I don't need or want to talk while riding with a large gaggle of riders.  If you look at a whole bunch of forums including this one, there have been threads about how many riders do you want to ride with.  I submit that the number that MOST riders want to ride with ranges from solo to four or five.  My 20s covers my requirements quite well.  I still may get a 30K because one group I am riding with is going to them. They ride on Sundays and you never know who is going to show up which makes pairing time an issue.  But actually if I have my tunes on, I'm not sure if I want to listen to them.

AAJ (aka above average Jim) is buying Jim’s Bluetooth hose!
