Review on πŸŽ™οΈ Enhance Communication with the Standard Horizon SSM-71H 2.5'' Wireless Remote Access Microphone by Justin Hines

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very limited range - cars and car electronics

The range is extremely limited and hardly usable. I installed it temporarily over my navigation station, trying to find the optimal location. My boat is a 50ft FRP and wood sloop with a navigation station just aft of the starboard crossbeam. With the access point at the navigation station, the RAM4W laptop loses connection when entering the bow of the pier. He also loses touch when behind the wheel. Both locations are within line of sight of the access point (I didn't have any other Wi-Fi devices working during this test). For reference, my Bluetooth stereo, also located on the navigation station, can play music from my cellphone, located anywhere on the deck. It's a shame as I mainly wanted to use it as an intercom when at anchor and when my wife is down. due to bad weather. As far as I can tell, this will not meet my needs. In terms of build quality, it lives up to expectations. The lack of a charging station is another disappointment. I'm pretty sure the USB connector will wear out long before the rest of the radio.

Pros
  • cars and car electronics
Cons
  • Basically OK, but...
