Perfect for instructors and students! All of these systems offer instructor to
rider professional quality communication. These are compact, durable high quality systems with excellent audio performance
to over 300 feet, all without pushing a button! All systems include a transmitter for the instructor and receiver for the
student. Our Eponaire systems include a PA option.
Note-About channels and interference.
All comunnication systems work on frequncies, each one way system has a set of channels within a frequncy range. Both
rider and instructor must be on the same channel in order to communicate. And if another rider/instructor is on the same channel
as you are you will have interference (you will hear someone elses instruction) if you are working in the same 300 ft.
area. However, the Eponaire One way will only interfere with other Eponaire One Way systems, the Eponaire/Azden
LX Pro will only interfere with other LX Pro systems, the Comtek with other Comteks, the Eartec with other Eartecs, etc.,
since all work on different frequncies. With the exception of the Eponaire One Way which has two channels (meaning three riders
would have to be using the using the Epoanire One Way within 300 feet of each other to have interference) , there are
more than enough channels available in all of the other systems totally eliminate interference, you will just have to
take the time during your ride to change your channels.
You also need to consider where you will be using your radios when deciding on a system, channel interference may
never be a problem iif you do not live or compete regularly in the heavily competitive Dressage events in S. California, the
East Coast or S. Florida. At the very large competitions most riders have one system or another so that's where
you may find an issue in the warmup rings.
Two way radios have multiple channels as well, and work on other frequencies than the one way systems, and have
a much longer range. You may encounter interference from business radios used in the areas, non equestrians using the
radios for recreational use, etc., again changing the channels will eliminate the interference.

More customer reviews:
First let me thank you for the 'above and beyond' customer service. I am
so happy with
my new system, I ride and show reiners and have struggled in my lessons and in the warm up arena not being able to hear
my trainer. I am deaf in one ear so you can imagine how hard it is when my trainer is in the middle of the arena. I can't
hear much of my lesson without tilting my
head at a funny angle which then throws my left shoulder forward.
Between
the wind, my squeaky saddle and other instructors all giving lessons at the same time, it's really almost impossible to hear.
Your
product has allowed me to get every word of my lesson and to respond
to my trainers instruction immediately. I get
more out of my lessons now and
I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I recently loaned it to a friend
who
was showing at the NRHA futurity. It's was a great tool.
Thanks again,
Carla Odetto

We welcome Beverly Rogers, "S" judge and USDF Gold Medalist .
"The Uniden radios work
very well in the push to talk mode, great for the rider with weekly lessons. And it worked well around the show grounds too",
according to Bev. "I do love the Kenwood Pro system though for me. With multiple daily lessons the VOX works so well,
and my students love the headset options!"

system.
"I do appreciate your prompt service with
getting all this to me and if in any event
you wanted to use me as a reference
please do! I'm quite happy with the system, as I could
not have done
my last two clincs without it and plan to use it on a daily
basis for my regular students."
Debbie Riehl Rodriguez
"We got the system yesterday and rode with it this morning! It is super! I really had no
idea how much it would improve my lessons. What I did not realize is that every time the instructor spoke to me, I would strain
to hear her and look directly at her. Of course, in the interim, my attention was completely off the horse and sometimes we'd
fall apart. Today I rode my best ride on this horse, my attention was completely on him, and I never even knew where the instructor
was! He was really big and the collection was super and I never lost him due to the comm system.? What a huge difference!
.Cheers
and THANK YOU! Maybe I will get up the levels with your help!"
