RIDE REVIEW I 2ND ANNUAL RUGGED RADIOS NEVADA RALLY EXPERIENCE
Rally Comp navigation devices are used at the
Sonora Rally and NORRA Rally events, as well
as being valuable training tools for many Dakar
Rally competitors. Their devices include numer-
ous safety features, such as the ability to warn
about hazards, two-way texting
even when out
of cell range, and continuous tracking for event
organizers. Nevada Rally participants could
choose to use a provided GPS track but were
encouraged to navigate the course with the Rally
the range. We were able to communicate with
fellow riders and the chase truck that was over
five miles away, which dramatically enhanced
safety and reduced stress. Rugged Radios offers
a helmet speaker/microphone option and fea
-
tures a push-to-talk button. Although the push-
to-talk
functionality is not as convenient as the
voice-activated feature found in most motorcycle
comms systems, the advantage was slightly less
unnecessary chatter and a greater range.
