Radios for Team flying? Suggestions or preference

Or how do you get the music to your pair team etc?
I would like a 3.5mm socket for headphones as a preference but not essential.
I would also like an input for music from an MP3 player.
Many Thanks Simon.

About connecting a microphone to this set-up, I haven't tried that, as we stand close enough that Lynn can hear my directions over the headphones.
The headphones also have an FM tuner built in.
These are not the highest quality headphones on the market. The sound quality is not what you would want for a steady diet, however, when we are flying together, what we are looking for is the music ques.
I bought these at a car show in Del Mar California last year from:
EJS Wholesale
P.O. Box 23227
Encinitas, CA 92023-2272
760 613 3777
At that time, the first set was $25, additional sets, including transmitters, were $20.

Thanks Everyone,
Looks like we/I will be getting a set of i2i - they take an mp3 player and then transmit to any number of other i2i's in the area. Take normal headphones so can used noise cancelling to block out any other sound (Steve Matchett springs to mind - Private joke sorry
Will review and feedback when they arrive.

Please let us know Simon what the result is.
The downside is Dave B only listens to ABBA & The Crankies

Stephen, I have the Drum N Bass remix if you need it, after all who can forget "I have a dream, Fan'dabi'dozi" or "Waterloo, Fan'dabi'dozi"

Hi Simon
Good luck with this set up. The UK "licensed" version (i.e. license-exempt requirements) will have a CE mark and they can transmit something around 50 nanowatts. [Range of approx 8 metres / 26 feet.] US specification is slightly different (it will have a FCC mark), mostly in terms of the channels on offer, as the power levels are pretty similar. I've tried a similar unit and although the range - on paper - is adequate, coverage is a bit variable and clothes and metallic bits may make reception a bit 'noisy'. Most units are designed for use in-car - more like contact-less wiring, with close proximity of transmitter and receiver.

Hi Bri, well if you had heard the comments in my left ear at the weekend at which point I was no longer able to fly then that idea is obviously something the Team wants to work on.
