lol Fair enough.

Just a gut-feel thing; I need to go back and dink with multiple-pairing the SR10 again to see if I had it in the right order.
I'm used to the way the SMH10/SR10 and SMH10/Galaxy phone multi-point pair together- no fuss, turn 'em on and they synch. The inital SR10/Zumo pairing was also very easy, set the devices to discoverable and
voilà... no dithering with PIN codes, et cetera to get them aligned.
Took the whole works out in the garage, including the F4011 and requisite cabling to see if there was any hint of the F4011 interacting with the Zumo (using the Zumo kit power wiring, which is different from the Nüvi wiring) during handset transmission. The SMH10 and SR10 paired automatically at power-up as always, but the SR10 needed to be coaxed (long pairing-button press routine) to re-acquire the pairing to the Zumo.
With the SR10 and Zumo now locked together, I didn't seem to be getting the normal/expected F4011/SR10/SMH10 behavior when I keyed the PTT (an open-channel whoosh, then a short gulp of static when the PTT is dropped, then channel-close ~3 sec later)... I prompted the Zumo to take me somewhere (forcing audible directions) and never heard anything from the helmet speakers... did pairing the Zumo supersede/cancel the SMH10 pairing?
Wanted to take the Bandit out for a run so I said "hmm" to myself at that point, turned off the Zumo Bluetooth and plugged in the Zumo-to-SR10 cord. That worked immediately with turn-by-turn coming into the SMH10, so I stopped pooching with it and went for a ride. Didn't go far, but the turn-by-turn prompting worked great.
So-o-o--o, I haven't been back to resolving the "hmm" yet... need to
the SR10 again, quite likely that I just wasn't following correct protocol but if I had to jump on the bike and go right this minute I'd use the Zumo speaker-out rather than f*ck around for a wasted hour with the Bluetooth pairing.
At the least, I didn't see the Zumo warning me that power had been turned off when I keyed the F4011. I haven't tried powering any of the GPS' with the little 12VDC-5VDC converters yet, so that's another experiment in the queue.
That's what I meant by 'not happy'
...not the GPS per se, but a perceived imbalance somewhere in the Zumo-SR10-SMH10 Bluetooth universe.
