I have a cb related question while we wait for a handheld option. When you pushed the ptt on the cb and talk, I used to be able to hear my own voice during the transmission on my 2010. I have the 2014 now and I cannot hear my voice thru it. Is this normal? Is there a setting to get that changed. Its hard to judge my transmission quality without it.

 

I'll bet a dollar to a donut it's that simple of a fix

 

Nope, there is no terminals in the radio for the ptt button. The ptt switch on the bars communicates through the can bus not the old 2 pin setup. Mike

 

meet me at 7-11 in the morning and pick up yer donut. You mean the handlebar mechanical PTT switch now has a circuit board to convert an open/close switch circuit into a data buss signal?

 

From an earlier thread:
Harleydude's method works, but here's what I found. The CB works properly if it is switched on after the bike is started. The problem occurs when the CB is left on and the bike is shut down. Upon restarting with the CB still switched on, you will not have the feedback through your headset. The workaround is to switch the CB off, then back on after starting the bike, or turn it off before shutting down, then turn back on after starting the bike.

None of the eBay links work anymore. Can anyone post info on a good throat microphone, as in make/model? Seems like there isn't going to be a good solution for the old microphones to still work anytime soon, and I don't always like to have to wear a headset.
Thanks.

 

They still on ebay under a different seller, just search, Harley throat mic. Mike

 

I had the CB/PPT switch installed a couple months ago. Pushing the PPT switch and the mic switch at the same time was a PITA especially with the PTT switch now on the right side.
A friend of mine showed me what he did. He took the H-D headset, cut off the speakers and attached a clip to the unit. Now all I have to do is clip it to my jacket and push the PTT switch - problem solved. Only problem is when I don't wear a jacket. I guess I can always clip it to the windshield pouch and just lean forward to talk.

Hardest part was finding a good strong clip. I got a set from Wal Mart. They were listed under resealable bag clips. I just wire tied the clip to the mic unit.
