A buddy and I bought their 900 MHz communicator with intercom this past 
summer and we find it to be a very good product.  The audio input feature is 
nice for music/radar detector.  The combination of rider to rider, rider to 
passenger, and combination of the two work very nicely.  Signal seems to 
compromise when pushing the 1 mile mark between units though.  Especially if 
the units are not "line-of-site".  ie. a obstruction between units.  Setting 
the volume and mic sensitivity are easy to adjust with large knobs, but takes 
a few attempts to get the sensitivity set just right.  Anyone who uses these 
knows one has to practically eat the mic and talk loud and clear to get them 
to work right.  

Durability has been excellent.  Units seem weather proofed rather well.  
Although, I'd probably wrap it in plastic in heavy, extended rains.  I 
wouldn't want to risk the $200 something I spent on the unit.  

Satisfied with the product here.  Just my $.02.
