Fellow riders,
I am looking for some input into a problem recently experienced with both of my J&M units. Specifically, when riding in the rain, the CB portion of the unit pretty much goes out, leaving me unable to communicate with the others in my group. Static rises, and several times, the auxiliary input and the CB radio exhibited a squeal in my helmet speakers that was so loud I was forced to turn the unit completely off. In checking the description of the unit, it listed it as "water resistant", which, if it was a watch, pretty much meant don't get it wet. So the question begs: Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, is there a solution? (Well, other than being a fair weather rider? Short of torrential downpours, you will see us out there.) Did J&M design a unit for only the weekend, yuppie-I have a bike so now I am a biker, crowd?
