Default Bike to Bike Communications

I am looking into getting an intercom setup. I would really like as wireless as possible with good range and bluetooth. I know the Scala Q2s are suppose to be sweet, but it is lacking some options I want. I don't like how you can only talk to one person at a time with a max of 2 connections. However everything about FRS and 900MHz I have found say they suck at anything above 40mph. I would really like to tie these into a camera setup to record the conversations while we ride.

Anyone know other good setups?

I've never used them so I don't know anything about their quality, but I've been on several rides with guys that use them and I've never heard a complaint, but then again I never asked about them.

How deep are your pockets? Either of these systems are considered top drawer.

The beaher I don't consider top drawer as it is the FRS/900MHz ones I was referring to that suck over 40mph. I could build those myself as a matter of fact. Wired systems are not something I am looking for, unless I can find a headset worth a damn in a helmet, building the wiring harness would be really cheap and easy, then just plug it in a basic FRS radio.

I have heard the same for the starcomm as well.

The last time I researched, Baehr was the business for what *I* was looking for, but if it doesn't suit your needs...

Definitely stay away from Chatterbox. They are a waste of money.

For me, all I would buy from Baehr is the headset. I could build the box myself. Pretty much if it is an all wired system, there is nothing to those things except multiple connections you could buy at radio shack for $2 a pop and build the complete box for under $30. I would really like something with BT to cut down the wires.

Hell, if you can build the Baehr box, can you build me a couple for less than the $1000 per box they go for?

collett seems to be nice, but looks to be chatterbox ish. Everything on adv rider points to Scala Q2s as the best for clarity, but they just hender the attachment access. I may try to mod one of those fuckers to let me use FRS.
