What our customers think!

The chapter has been investigating bike/bike and rider / passenger communications systems for some months with a view to choosing a system that we could recommend to all of our chapter members.  We also needed a radio link for our road captains and marshals for the ride outs that we conduct every month. After testing a couple of systems we have settled on the Tecstar system and a Kenwood PMR 446 radio (legal frequency and power output). We currently have 2 sets in use though the intention is to buy more. The main reason for choosing your equipment was that it did just what you said it would and was easy to fit.  I am also very impressed with the “after Sales” service that I have received.  Six bikes from Bridgwater Chapter took part in the Antwerp 500 mile run in October (24-26) and the ability to communicate between the bikes ensured that we did not leave any rider behind at lights or junctions etc with no idea as to what direction we had taken next. We also used the mobile phone and were told that the other party did not realise that the call was conducted from a motorcycle Travelling at speed in Belgium. In total we covered over 1250 miles over the weekend and I know that others in our club are going to order sets of equipment from you.  Please feel free to use any of the information contained in this email as a recommendation as to the quality of the system and very good service that your company embraces.

Just to let you know that the phone is working perfectly with the intercom. Was chatting on it just above the national speed limit and the caller did
not even know I was on my bike.
Thanks for all of your help.

I just wanted to send a quick email to thank all at Tecstar for the excellent service I have received from my first contact right through to the completed set-up of my Starcom Motorcycle Helmet Communication System.  The staff have been incredibly helpful in making sure the product that they supply has not only met the advertised specifications but has been tailored to fit my needs perfectly, I now have a very neat installation of the Starcom that is extremely easy to plug into, leaving me on the bike & ready to take phone calls within seconds.  It really is possible to hold a phone conversation without the caller knowing you are on the bike, does take some getting used to though, voices in the head! The only real disadvantage I have found with the unit is on day trips when I
have the rider/pillion intercom connected, no more silence from the back! Sue is able to talk to me very clearly at all speeds, comments on my riding skills, directions I'm taking & of course speed are now readily available all the way to our destination, we have tried to beat the unit but conversation has been easily held from 0 - Silly. I chose the Starcom over a more expensive competitor because of the infectious enthusiasm of the Tecstar staff for their product, it really was a good decision for me.

Dear Tecstar

The system is perfect, user friendly and it does exactly what it says on the box. Would I recommend it to other motorcyclists??? Absolutely !!! not only for the quality of the product though this alone is recommendation enough but for the fantastic after sales once again thank you.

My biker pal Mike, and I, purchased Two way radios and head sets for a tour around the highlands of Scotland, I then wanted to go one step further and add music to the set up to have some entertainment and keep up with, travel and news in general.  I expressed an interest in the Starcom 1 that Tecstar had developed and they sent me details, the Starcom was the answer it allows two way radio input, music input and with the addition of a second head set, my pillion can enjoy the music and we can talk with absolute clarity to one another, throughout the full speed range of my ST1100, and if you wish you can set the VOX to cut out the music whilst in conversation, the next item I shall be ordering from them will be the input for my mobile phone. My real reason for writing is to congratulate Tecstar on the product but perhaps more importantly the Customer service and attention to detail that the company afforded me, in particular Mr Allan Jones, he was very helpful and the speed of turn around from order to delivery in my last experience was amazing (Item posted on Tuesday night returned Thursday).
So thank you Tecstar, and for any one considering bike communications give Tecstar a call (01480 399499) you will not be disappointed.

We went to the BMF Tail End Show last weekend and as usual the weather was perfect.
Whilst there I purchased an intercom from StarCom.
The StarCom 1 rider to passenger kit we bought has really surprised us both with the clarity of communication it provides. Even at 'excessive' speeds a normal conversation is possible. This kit is excellent.
Connect the power wire to the bike's auxiliary wire, the other power wire to an earth. Plug in the headsets, audio lead and phone lead and it's done. The unit sits nicely under the seat above 'a box' near the rear light cluster. Held in place with the strap that holds 'the box' in place. Little velcro pads that come in the kit, stop it sliding about and prevent it rubbing anything. Ten minutes and it's ready to go, ten more minutes to fit the headsets into our helmets and we were on the drive setting the volume and VOX sensitivity. Getting the headphones in the correct place was a bit of trial and error, but once the place was sorted more velcro stops them moving.
The phone lead was an extra to the standard kit and I thought it was a bit short. It was too short to reach my phone when it was in my pocket or in Katrine's, so I emailed the company and asked for a longer one. I had a replacement lead through my letter box the next morning (FOC)!

Excellent product, excellent service. Now all I've got to get used to is talking and riding at the same time. Doing two things at once is not something I've mastered yet!
