I've also been struggling a bit with headsets and adding a CB.
1. Headsets -Even though I have broken down and purchased some headsets for the bike I still want to figure out the system. Currently I have audio into my homemade headset working fine. I'm just having an issue with the mic portion.
I've tested the mic on a CB (off the bike) and it works fine. When I wire it into the 5 pin din wire I get a squeal. So I added a 1/4 w 1k resister inline on the positive side. This got rid of the squeal but I get nothing off the microphone.
Does anyone know what resistor is needed? Does it need to be inline or parallel.
2. CB Interfaces -- I'd love to just build my own so here are the questions.
a. Where can you get a pin out for the CB interface into the radio system. All the pictures I find are of Gen 3. But isn't the GL1500 Gen4????
b. I've narrowed it down to the Kennedy FRS2set and the AirRider "add a radio". Kennedy is now saying they have a feedback problem. Anyone have experience with either of these? I'm not willing to shell out the over $500 for the J&M unit and Stuart doesn't sell interfaces and his whole system again is too much money.
thanks
