I kinda start to regret removing my wired Autocom ProM1... 🙄
(yeah, had to, as PMR radios started to fail as well due the impact of "technology progress"...)

Last week I roll out the sub-level garage, my SENA SLR-II nicely receiving tunes from the SENA FreWire ...
At a red light I'd to stop behind one of those oversized Mercedes SUV's... driver starts to punch around on his dumb-phone...
and almost instantly my music reception starts suffering dropouts, which lasted until we went on and I managed to pass that housewife-tank...
Once I got ahead of that car, suddenly my music was fully clear again...

Similar odd experiences during the weekend ride...
On the solitary, rural roads all is fine and undisturbed...
But while crossing through the various villages, I get odd, random dropouts of the music playback...
And I can't pinpoint if that origins from parked cars, smart TVs/stereos inside the homes, or the omnipresent, domestic WLAN routers... :unsure:

Same on Bike 2 Bike intercom...
excellent out in the open...
random distortions within inhabited areas...
getting stuck in dense traffic between "oh so modern" cars, and you might not even hear each other over a 3 ft distance... :cautious:

To me it seems that especially the MFG's of high priced, luxury vehicles totally ignore any FCC regulations... EVs in particular... 🙄
