8/30/2023 0 Comments Hjc chatterbox helmet![]() ![]() The Chatterbox line has expanded to include the FRS-X2 and the GMRS-X1. The base model is very easy to use and relatively reliable, and I own two of these units as well. The inexpensive "base model" FRS Multi Sport Chatterbox offers only 2 channels (FRS channels 2 and 9). The unit can be easily recharged off of your bike's battery if you are on a road trip using either the cord you buy from Chatterbox, or your own home made bastardization from your local Radio Shack (what I did). My personal experience has been about 2 days of continuous use. It's relatively light and compact, and it mounts to the left side of your helmet.īattery life is excellent, especially on the newer FRS-X2 models. The Chatterbox is about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Communication is "half duplex", in other words one person transmits at a time. Transmitting is achieved by using a push-to-talk (PTT) button or the built in voice-activated (VOX) feature. The unit allows you to communicate with any other Chatterbox or FRS radio equipped motorcycles. It comes with a headset and microphone equipped harness that you permanently mount inside your helmet's lining. The Chatterbox is essentially a FRS radio that mounts to your helmet. Some background for those who don't know what we're talking about HJC, the helmet manufacturer, distributes bike-to-bike communicators under the Chatterbox brand name.

I like the Chatterbox so much I bought the guys who made it a case of beer. ![]() It's an indispensable tool that has saved my hide hundreds of times from cops to gravel in corners, from crazy stories to break the monotony of the Interstate to the standard "hey I have to go the bathroom now!" call. I think the Chatterbox is by far one of the coolest, if not THE coolest motorcycle accessory ever invented. There are so many things to say about the HJC Chatterbox that I don't even know where to begin, so I'll start by saying this so that it's totally clear how I feel. ![]()
