Communication Systems Nady Mrc

Nady MRC-11X $129 (base unit, $40 for extra headset)The MRC-11X is basically a GMRS radio with extra motorcycle-friendly features. The main unit looks, works and feels just like a small walkie-talkie and runs on four AAA batteries. It still packs a wallop, with an up-to-7-mile range claimed, and there's a removable belt clip included. It can be stashed in a pocket or tank bag, or used off the bike without the headset. In addition to the GMRS two-way radio, there's a built-in full-duplex intercom and a PTT switch on the unit, plus a separate PTT switch that can be handlebar-mounted. The electronics feature noise-cancelling and wind-blocking headsets, Nady Super VOX (which prevents mics from activating while receiving and eliminates side-tone-your own voice through the speakers-when receiving) and auto-squelch for the GMRS radio. The few nits to pick are a too-small backlit LCD and instructions that don't mention headset installation.Dimensions: 2.5"W x 4"H x 1"D (plus antenna)www.nady.com; (510) 652-2411
