I don't see vox ever working well on a sled or anything else that has much noise, wind or engine.
the baofeng speaker mic has a ear phone socket. I don't use it because I don't want to mess around with connecting something every time I take my helmet off.
there is another idea that I have thought about.... the baofeng uv-3r is a tiny radio. the body of it will fit in a cigarette pack (just to illustrate size). mount the radio to the helmet, then, rig up a mic speaker setup that can be mounted in the helmet. use the PTT button that is on the side of the radio... that's too much hassle, by the time one designs a robust way to mount the radio....build it for everyone in the group.
my setup works well so far. I use/wear a bca float 32. stuff the radio in the cargo area. set it high enough so that the antenna sticks out through the zipper with the mic cord. the 32 has a small loop inside the left shoulder strap zipper pouch. clip the mic to that and it stays put very nicely. I wonder though, what will happen if I have to deploy the bag while the mic cord is interfering with the top of the pack???
