wvumtnbkr Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Is there a radio that will work with this in the car that is NASCAR and Motorola harness compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Sampson Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 This radio can be programmed in both digital and analog so yes it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvumtnbkr Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Is there a digital radio that would fulfill the above requirements? I'm tired of radio issues.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Sampson Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Yes as long as the in car harness is IMSA. We have the matching digital radio for the in car. Going digital will give you full 2way communications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Sammich Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Who's using this radio? Does it punch to the edges of most tracks? I'm in the market to upgrade. It pains me to start over, we have a LOT of radio related infrastructure. BUT, we're tired of losing radio contact on half the track at most places we go. I need at least 3 car kits, 6-8 handhelds, crew chief headset 'thingy', chargers, spare batterys, wiring for 6 helmets. We were NASCAR, willing to change to IMSA.

Ham Sammich Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 how often does the 16 channel thing become an issue with teams on the same channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost never for us, we've only had one time that another team was on the same channel and we asked them to switch stations and it wasn't a problem. But we also caught it before the roll out of the pits to start the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Shawn can comment on this. I seem to think that the Boafeng radios we have are a fairly distinct frequency or they have codes so that your radio will only talk with your radios. I have no idea though. Recently at Watkins with 100+ cars, we had another team on the same channel. But in reality it was very intermittent (only happened 10 or so times over the course of the weekend) and wasn't very clear when it happened. I have no idea if they were stuck listening to our stupid banter all weekend long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Sampson Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Hey Gang- The biggest issue, with say "less expensive radios" (Example, Baofeng) is intermittent freq bleed-over as pointed out above. For example, you might pick up other teams every now and then or you might be picked up by others as well. Bleed-over happens when the radios freq/codes are very close to one another and the radio encoder/decoder is not as "precise" as it could be. Best thing to do is just find a different channel and race on With that being said, a true digital radio (Example, Vertex or Mototrbo) will never have a bleed-over issue.
