I purchased the SR10 along with a pair of Midland GMRS/FRS radios, so that I can communicate with the Wife more easily than via phone calls (she doesn't ride, she drives the car). There's also been an issue with group rides - out of the 10 people that show up for a ride, 2 have Scala Riders, a couple have Autocomms, and the rest are either using CB's or FRS. There's also the issue with range with helmet intercoms - if there's more than a few hundred yards between lead and sweep, you're back to relaying hand signals through the group.
The SR10 takes care of that. As long as people are using the same type of radio and the same channel, it no longer matters what kind of headset everyone has. It also allows communication with truckers via CB, and the phone is still paired. It also allows a second hardwired sound source (GPS or radar detector) to be used.
I've tested mine in the garage, and it both transmits and receives perfectly. Still waiting on my RKA tankbag (built to-order) that'll mount all of this, but once it arrives, the bike will not only be a sport-tour machine, but a rolling comm center as well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Music?
Can I connect an MP3 player or my Sirius radio to this?
You can physically patch it to AUX1 but it will transmit thru in Mono, not stereo.

can i pair my iphone AND the sr10 to my smh10?
this would allow me to use the iphone's A2DP profile, giving me voice control and stereo music. or can i only pair the sr10 to the smh10, then be forced to plug the iphone into the sr10?
thanks!
thanks!
The SR10 doesn't have A2DP, so there's a bit of a problem with pairing the phone directly to the headset AND via the SR10. Other users have noted this issue (and are understandably upset with it). Your could either
A) cable the phone physically to the SR10's second Aux port (which will pass audio thru as Mono),
B) physically connect the phone to the SMH10's audio input (which would allow music in stereo but not allow voice command of the phone.)
C) Go with the SM10 relay, which has dual Bluetooth channels and A2DP connectivity but no 2-way radio link.

What is an example of a Two-Way Radio?
The review of this product states that it can be used to connect to a number of different types (from 6 different manufacturers) of two way radios which do not have a limit on distance or the number of people that can interconnect. Every time I do a search for two-way radios I get "walkie-talkie" results. What are some example products (two-way radios) that I can use this product with. ORRRR does this product function as a two-way radio communicator in itself?
The SR10 is just a relay, it has no 2-way radio circuits on its own. Think of it as a microphone adapter, turning your Bluetooth headset (along with the PTT button included with the unit) into a mike for the radio.
That said, with the correct cabling you can patch the SR10 to any 2-way radio set with a microphone connector. The cables they sell are for the little handhelds (GMRS, FRS), but that's probably because people on bikes don't have a lot of room for the normal dash-mount radio rigs, unless they've a tourer with a big fairing. That said, If you have a standard dash-mount CB radio on your bike, you might have to get an adapter to cable the SR10 to it, but it'll work.
As for types of radios... you could use Family Radio Service, General Mobile Radio Service, CB, ham radio, or (if you're licensed to own/use these) police/fire/search and rescue bands, military bands, and so on.

Has the SR10 been paired successfully with a Scala Q2?
Yes. I use a Q2 on my BiLT full-face. I did have to delete the pairing from my headset to my phone, pair the headset to the SR10, then pair the phone to the SR10.
One thing I noticed (and it may be my phone doing this). The SR10 takes a moment to actually sync with both my Samsung Aspire (android) phone, and the Scala Rider Q2. During those couple of seconds I'll see a pair request on the phone for the Q2 headset, which then goes away once the SR10 establishes the linkup. A minor annoyance, but functionally not an issue.

2 way radio Cables
Anthony mentioned that a separate cable is required to connect to 2-way radios. I have a motorola set, where can i get the cable? Does revzilla sell this?
Not sure if RevZilla sells them, BUT... you can buy them from Amazon or from Sena directly. Just do a search for "Sena Microphone Cable <your brand of radio>". Of course it goes without saying that your radio should actually have a microphone connector jack (or jacks). So check to be sure; the cheaper FRS radios sometimes lack this feature. :)
