uniden 885 (2 way radios)?

does anyone know anything about 2 way radios?

i bought these today from argos specialy for the vox feature, i wanted to be able to use them on my motorbike so i can talk to a mate on his bike.

for some reason the vox feature works when we are on stop but not when we are on the move.

any help will be apreciated as the instructions dont go into much detail, i have read up on the handsets and they’v had good reviews

aq couple of mates of mine have special vox headsets but they only work when you have someone on the back of the bike

realy frustrated

Probably find its to do with background noise, in your helmet when you’re on the move. More noise, less chance of VOX activating properly. Police use a noise cancelling mic, within 2cm of the mouth, but a seperate press to talk (PTT) button. You could wire it up so that you plug into a connection which is hard wired onto your bike, fit a PTT (waterproof, non latching type from Maplin). You’de need to wire in a mike and earpiece into the helmet.
Good luck
