Default Suggestions for Driver - Student Intercom

Hi,

Just wondering if there is anything better on the market than the tried and true Nady PMC 2X.

Getting ready to buy.

Regards,

Ken

Chatterbox. Very reliable.

Yes, Chatterbox has worked great for me for many years.

Chatterbox. End of story.

Instructor's unit has 2 (stereo) earpieces that you can easily mount under your helmet liner so there's no fuss when pulling the helmet on & off. I don't even know my earphones are in there.

Chatterbox, but I put their stereo headphones into my helmet which made them even better. My wife sewed them in under the foam liner, and now I can hear my student in stereo.

Yeah, Chatter Box is the way to go (speaking of which, I have to go charge mine).

Keep an old Nady as a spare... and let those people who forgot their communicator use it.

As if it needed any more votes, Chatterbox. The vast majority of the Lone Star Region PCA instructors use them. Definitely get the one Eric and Rick are talking about.

+1 for Chatterbox. I have 2 helmets and have it permanently installed in my "instructor's" helmet since I wanted the built-in feel and convenience of that. It is very reliable as others have stated and the battery EASILY lasts all weekend on 1 charge.
