The StarCom - Zumo specific cables come with isolators integral to them. In the case of the radar detector, I bought the Escort motorcycle cable with integral GFI transformer. I could not hear any RD alerts at all without the GFI transformer in-line.

Question from
Jim Henke:
What are you using for a "2-way radio"? And is it powered off the bike? If so, it's interesting to note you didn't need an isolated (GFI?) cable for the 2-way.Response from
