Can someone point me to a few places where I can purchase a basic instructor/student communications device/chatterbox? I think a basic corded one should be fine, but cordless might be interesting as well.

Thanks in advance.

 

This is where I got my Chatterbox:

+1 for Bob and Laurette at Stable Energies.

 

I have a Tandem Pro Kit and 2 Student Headsets that I used once last summer to instruct. They worked very well. I doubt that I'll be using again them in the future. If interested please drop me a PM with an offer. If you're looking to buy new, I definitely recommend Stable Energies.

Another vote for Bob and Laurette @ Stable Energies. They are big PCA supporters, BTW.

Oh, and the Chatterbox system works very well, BTW.

OK, coolest cheap thing on the planet. The Chatterbox X-1 with GMRS radio built in. A little larger than the standard chatterbox on the helmet, but I have no issues with it hitting even in a Cupcar with elephant ears. They are great for instructing (same as normal chatterbox here). But then if any of your friends get one, you can have car to car communication (this is awesome for doing real advanced instructing or just talking to your friends) or car to pits. Any GMRS handset from Walmart works great with this for the pit crew (or the wife to get the beer ready when you are coming in). How many times have you gone out with buds on the track, and you just never see them. Now you can find them, and run together. Or you just want to do a lead and follow and switch up safely. Cheap mans com system, and actually in some ways better. GMRS has a 5 mile range so even on REALLY big tracks there is not issue.... You can find them on eBay cheap, or any of the afore mentioned distributors..

 

Nothing else comes close...
