Wireless Communication Promotes Social Distancing & Plant Tour Efficiency

Wireless headset solutions from Eartec provide the crystal clear voice contact necessary to overcome the din and clatter of ambient noise in industrial facilities and to maintain social distancing during plant tours.

Eartec offers two distinct styles of Plant Tour Headsets, Full Duplex and Simplex.

The UltraLITE are totally self-contained full duplex plant tour headsets that provide hands free, simultaneous talk communication. With UltraLITE users can speak freely and simultaneously just like on a regular telephone. They include a special Auto Mute microphone assembly that allows the tour leader or anyone in the group to ask a question simply by moving the mic boom down to talk.

The Scrambler UHF transceiver is at the heart of all Eartec simplex tour intercoms. With simplex wireless transmissions are initiated by Push to Talk (PTT). When the tour leader or anyone in the group transmits the message is received by everyone. The Scrambler features 14 high band frequencies and channel switching makes it easy to separate or combine radios and headsets as your needs dictate.

EVADE series headsets are a new class of Light Industrial wireless team communication systems designed for professional crews that need instantaneous voice contact.  Operating in full duplex mode they allow crews to talk simultaneously and hands free.  They feature deluxe padding and a sleek, fully adjustable headband that provide outstanding comfort.  EVADE have the capacity to link up to nine users within a 1/2 mile range (line of sight, terrain dependent) enhancing coordination, productivity, and safety.

Eartec will help you select the items that you need and provide a quote upon request. If you plan to deploy wireless across multiple locations we will formulate comprehensive pricing.

Plant Tours Communications

Whether touring a noisy plant or an environment where safety is a concern, guides need to be able to communicate with participants and field questions without having to raise their voice or repeat themselves. Wireless two-way tour guide systems offer clear hearing solutions for plant tour communication.

• Use in quiet to high-noise environments
• Simple push-to talk communications
• Encrypted for security

How Can a Two-Way Communications System Work for You?

Using audio tour guide equipment.

Two-way communication devices both transmit and receive audio, allowing tour guides to easily and clearly communicate with participants indoors and outdoors.

The plant tour guide wears the transceiver on a lanyard around their neck and uses a wireless headset system with a microphone for hands-free communication. There is no handheld microphone or tethered speaker to lug around. Audience members wear the transceiver around their necks accompanied by an earphone for enhanced hearing. With a push of a button, they can speak into the unit’s microphone when they have questions or comments.

The system can be programmed to allow everyone to hear participant questions or to only allow the plant tour guide to hear and respond to audience questions.

Best Headsets for Plant Tours & Guides in High Noise

Good communication is essential for plant tours to be successful. Oftentimes loud environments make it hard to communicate which means using a plant tour headset for loud noise is required. You need something that will block out loud noise but still allow you to hear and talk within your group.

The options below are some of the best plant tour headsets in high noise. All the headsets featured are hard hat compatible if hard hats are required to follow OSHA protocol .

Below are the top 5 best plant tour headsets.

3M Peltor Litecom FRS

Plant tours mt-370 headset, waveband dual muff headset, team communications system headset.

• Sensear Smart Group Headset

The 3M Peltor Litecom FRS headset is a good headset for large-group plant tours. This dual muff headset has a 23 dB noise reduction rating (for hard hat attachment style) for hearing protection and a noise canceling boom microphone for clear speech.

A nice thing about this headset is it’s headset to headset communication with a  built-in two-way radio meaning you won’t need to buy an external two-way radio. The headset has 22 pre-programmed FRS channels and doesn’t require a license to operate. All users on the same channel will be able to communicate back and forth.

The headset can either be activated via the push to talk button or by using VOX (voice operated transmission) which picks up your voice without pressing any buttons.

Another option for large group plant tour headsets is the MT-250 headset by Plant Tours.com . This dual muff headset is made for high noise environments with a 24 noise reduction rating . 

A cool feature with this headset is the lockable push to talk button that gives you the option to speak without pressing the button and gives your hands and arms free range of motion.

All of Plant-Tour.com headsets only work with their own Plant-Tour.com transceivers (two-way radios). On top of purchasing the headset you’ll also be required to use one of their transceivers. One option is the MT-700 Transceiver which has 15 pre-programmed channels that allow multiple tours and work groups communicate.

The Waveband Dual Muff Headset is a good option for plant tours. It has a 23 dB noise reduction rating making it great to use in high noise environments. This headset will require a two-way radio to use and is compatible with most professional two-way radio models. 

The style of this headset is pretty basic. It is a neckband style with an adjustable over the head velcro strap which allows you to resize and wear it with hard hats. The push to talk button is located on the ear cup so you can respond back.

The Team Communications System Headset is great for small group plant tours connecting up to 8 users with unlimited listen-only users and is full duplex. This means only 8 users can talk simultaneously but you can have as many listen-only users as you want. Full duplex means multiple people can talk at one time which makes it feel more of face to face conversation without pushing a button.

This headset is plug-and-play with no installation making it usable right out of the box. It does not require a two-way radio to use although it does allow you to integrate with portable radios if you want.

This headset has a 23 dB noise reduction rating which is great for protection in high noise areas.

Sensear SmartGroup - Industrial Training SM1P Headset

The Sensear Smart Group Headsets are another viable option for plant tours. You can connect an infinite amount of headsets making it perfect for any size tour group. Each group will have a teacher headset and student headsets. The teacher headset pairs with the student headset via short range of up to 50m or 150 ft.

The student headset comes in two options: student listen and talk or student listen only. Student listen and talk allows the student to transmit and listen while student listen only will just receive audio. Teacher headsets will always be talk only. 

The noise reduction rating is 27 dB with a noise canceling boom mic making it suitable to use in high noise environments to stay heard and protect your hearing. A cool thing with this headset is the Sensear SENS® Technology which stands for Speech Ehnancement Noise Supression, and isolates and enhances speech while also reducing loud background noise so you can hear speech and stay protected.

Taylor Thomas, Marketing Manager for Waveband Communications has over 5 years of experience in helping small and large teams find the right communication equipment for their needs. Whether it's finding the right radios or sorting out the best headsets, Taylor ensures teams stay connected and productive.

Take a look at the Cast by Sena. With Mesh Intercom that wirelessly connects anyone in the Mesh with a push of a button, and a NRR rating of 28dB (23 dB with a hard hat mount) it may be the best option of all for plant tours. No two way radio needed!

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Reveal How Humor Keeps Them Going and If New Music Is On the Way

The duo are currently on the road for a 37-date summer tour.

“Robert just sent a picture of himself from 1981 in a bar and is wearing the smallest shorts in history. The smallest shorts anyone has ever seen. They don’t even qualify as shorts.”

First Authorized Led Zeppelin Documentary, ‘Becoming Led Zeppelin, Acquired By Sony…

Trending on billboard.

“I think it started off very tentatively,” Plant says of going on the road together over the last few summers. “Myself and Alison were very cagey about the whole idea, having been apart for such a long time, and as it developed, it just felt very natural. And there are places to play, and if you don’t play them, somebody else will.”

This is the third consecutive summer the pair are on the road together, a tradition that began after the 2021 release of their second collaborative album Raise The Roof . The album arrived 14 years after their debut project, Raising Sand , which won album of the year at the 2009 Grammys. Both projects found the duo covering songs by artists as disparate as The Everly Brothers and Calexico, along with a few of their own originals.

Since emerging at the tail end of the CD era, much has been made about the odd couple factor in the pairing of the bluegrass country star and rock’s archetypal golden god. Today on the phone, Krauss says she and Plant are “definitely yin and yang,” a point Plant reiterates when he says working with Krauss has taught him “humility” and the sort of vocal discipline that was not necessarily required when he was ripping the warrior cries on “Immigrant Song.”

“I used to turn up to play and all the people in the club who were real strong, country working men, they all told me to bugger off,” Plant says of a local U.K. venue he often wore very short shorts to in the ’80s, an era in which he says he already felt “washed up.” “They said ‘No, we don’t need your type here’, because obviously I’d been a little bit too successful at some point. So I thought I’d thrill them with my my clothing.” Meanwhile Krauss says if she looked like what Plant looked like in the image he sent her before our call, “I might send some photos of myself around too.” She jokes that while he’s at the castle today, she’ll be at home doing laundry. “Oh, I love you Alison,” he says. “It’s been difficult without you, I must say.”

Below, the two talk about touring, singing and why it isn’t a time to write love songs.

After all this time performing as a duo, are you finding new things your voices can do together, or at this point is it just about maintaining the thing you’ve developed?

Krauss: My brother, who’s out on the road with us, is like, “It’s strange when you guys sing together, it sounds like three [people]. It has its own thing happening.” It does become something else. We’re just so different, and I think the surprise of the two of us singing together in the first place — from the world I come from and the same from Robert — you just would have never put the two together. But it worked.

Plant: Alison helped me, because some of the harmonic structure we share is not within the ballpark or the canon of what I’ve been used to. So it’s great to actually go out there and know I’m being watched at various parts of a song to see whether or not I’m going to go to the right note, or to a note that’s in tune, but obviously is not coming from the high altar of A.K.’s. It’s good; it keeps me agile. I mean, maybe when we do stuff like “Battle Of Evermore,” it’s more in the free zone that I came from.

Krauss: And I don’t know if I have a free zone. [laughs]

Plant: Yeah, you do! I’ve heard it, and I’ve got the tapes. I mean, it really is a radically different approach. There’s no room for any other style than the one I signed up to be in in this situation, but I can feel what the permutations of it are. And we’ve got it down. It’s good.

I wonder if that’s part of this enduring appeal of this project for you both — it’s comfortable, but it’s not necessarily predictable, so it stays exciting.

Plant: Yeah, and that’s when the humor comes in. I mean, that’s when I can feel [like] the microscope that could be used [to look] at the surface of Mars is actually turned [to look] at my performance going “Come on, get on with it.”

This is the third summer in a row that you’re on the road together. Do you anticipate introducing any new covers to the setlist?

Krauss: I’m sure there will be something that shows up.

Plant: Yes. I think Alison’s absolutely right.

Would you ever consider writing more music together?

So it sounds like there are things to write about?

Plant: Well look, I mean, I was going to say I’m a European, but we’re not Europeans. We’re at the last clan mass before the new world, really. We have so much turmoil in this country right now. It’s a place that I can’t see myself commenting on, because there’s so many shards of social upheaval and sadness. And so this is just not the time to be writing a love song, I don’t think.

Given that turmoil, I wonder if part of the continuing appeal of this project for audiences is that it gives people comfort to hear you two singing these beautiful, older songs and creating something they can just relax into for a moment.

Krauss: It’s just a very joyful atmosphere, and I want to be in that place.

Plant: Yeah, exactly that.

Krauss: I hope we can bring some folks along with us.

10 of these dates are part of the Outlaw Music Festival tour. What is it like to shift into the atmosphere of that larger musical community while on the road? Is there anyone you’re performing with that you’re particularly eager to be around?

Krauss: I love these Outlaw shows. I’ve done a number of them through the years with Willie… I think it’s going to be an amazing evening with all these guys, but I have to say that of all three of those guys, the guy that can pull off the shorts is Robert.

Plant: Actually, as a matter of fact, here within the shadows of Ludlow Castle, a 14th century masterpiece of Norman architecture, I am actually wearing shorts as I sit here under a London plane tree in the late afternoon. But at the shows, we say, “We’re going on at X time, and then you do what you like after that.”

It sounds like you’ll be in the audience waiting to find out.

Plant: The fact is that between Alison and more recently myself, I’ve dug deep into the old music. The old, old music. Some of it that floated across with the Puritans in the 1600s and sort of remodeled itself into these timeless songs. And I hear a lot of them coming out of the guy from Minnesota. I can also hear them in the folk club in England and some spectacular contemporary English recitations of folk. The topic sometimes are a little… I mean, thank God for Dylan, or I’d have been stuck with some of those 300 year old diatribes.

Has anything stood out to you both recently in terms of new music?

Krauss: I haven’t been listening to anything new. I’ve been in the studio, so you don’t want to put the radio on when you when you get in the car.

Plant: We did both have a sneak preview into T Bone’s [Burnett’s newest album.] He spilled the beans. That was very touching, I thought, and cathartic for him I’m sure.

And now we have coming around the corner from another Paleolithic Era, Dave Gilmour taped himself to the studio. I’m still buying into how people of my generation move through the times and through the fears, because one step the wrong way and we’re all pastiche again. I’m so aware of where I don’t want to be. So I think that will be very interesting. And in Britain, media wise, David Gilmore carries a lot of journalistic clout. And then Tinariwen from Mali… Those are two projects that I’m interested in.

Robert, there’s a new Zeppelin documentary coming out. After all this time, what else is there left to learn about the band?

But it sounds like there’s still, as you’re saying, tales untold and things to learn and that maybe this new documentary will reveal some of that?

Plant: Maybe. I’m not sure. I saw some bits of it a while back. It’s taken from very early on, so it’s pre-shorts.

The pre-shorts and post-shorts eras.

Plant: Yeah. More kilt than shorts, I think.

What have you two learned from each other over this long collaboration?

Plant: Patience and humility I think, for me.

Krauss: Well, you know, I’ve got to lighten up, but I haven’t yet.

Plant: [laughs] You see why it’s so funny! By whatever means these conversations reach the paying audiences who scream for shorts, you can’t actually transmit this rubbish. It’s just too good.

7 Tomato Plant Pests and How to Get Rid of Them

Here’s what’s eating your tomatoes—and what to do about it.

Country Living editors select each product featured. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Why Trust Us?

“Many different pests feed on tomatoes,” says Matt Bertone, PhD, entomologist and director of the NC State Plant Disease and Insect Clinic . “Some do minor damage, but there are a few that can affect plant health and your overall harvest.”

The key to conquering these hungry little critters is to pay attention. “You should always be scouting in your garden,” says Gary Pilarchik, owner of The Rusted Garden and author of The Modern Homestead Garden . “Walk around and inspect your plants and the undersides of leaves. If you find a pest, keep a notebook and record the date. This will help prepare you for next year to give an idea of the time frame when a specific pest shows up so you'll be ready to act.”

It's also important to identify what you’re dealing with and don’t just start indiscriminately spraying. Depending on the type of pest and the level of the outbreak, you may be able to use something as simple as a blast from the garden hose or hand-picking to manage them, says Bertone.

And remember, if you decide to resort to pesticides (even organic ones), be mindful of when and where you’re spraying so you don’t inadvertently spray beneficial pollinators, too, says Pilarchik. Always read the label to ensure it is safe to use on edible crops.

Aphids (family Aphididae) are soft-bodied roundish or pear-shaped and gather in colonies on the undersides of leaves and stems.

They may be green, black, red, or yellow with a distinct pair of “tail pipe” structures on the back end. They suck plant juices and produce a sugary excretion called honeydew. Because they reproduce quickly and can have multiple generations per season, their numbers can explode within a few days.

“They may not produce noticeable damage but can transmit viruses to plants,” says Bertone.

What to do: Blast them off with a strong spray from the garden hose. Repeat every few days to reduce populations.

For persistent infestations, use insecticidal soap per label instructions.

Stink Bugs (family Pentatomidae) suck liquids from plants, typically the fruits. They have distinctive shield-shaped or oval-ish bodies that are about 3/4" long and wide with six legs, a marbled pattern on the body, and lighter-colored bands on the antennae.

“They cause bleach-like spots or starburst marks on fruit, and the flesh becomes corky underneath,” says Bertone. As you’d guess, they emit a strong odor if crushed.

What to do: Look for clusters of light green eggs on the undersides of leaves, and crush them.

If they’ve already hatched, you can try pesticides such as spinosad or neem oil but most products are not totally effective. Hand pick adults, if you can catch them before they drop to the ground, and submerse in soapy water.

Fleahoppers

Fleahoppers ( Microtechnites bractatus ) are tiny, shiny black insects that can jump like a flea. They suck juices from leaves of plants, leaving small white spots or stipples, and they also leave dark fecal spots. They feed on many different plants and heavy infestations can cause leaf drop .

What to do: Typically, small infestations are not a problem. But if things seem to be getting out of control, treat with an insecticidal soap, according to label instructions. Make a second application a week or so later to deal with eggs that have hatched because they’re protected inside plant tissues where the insecticides don’t reach.

Hornworms ( Manduca spp) are medium to large caterpillars that grow to become large sphinx moths. The tobacco hornworm ( M. sexta ) is the most common species on tomatoes. They’re green with white stripes and have a curved “horn” on their abdomen. They can consume large quantities of leaf material, says Bertone.

What to do: Hornworms often are attacked by beneficial parasitoid wasps, whose larvae feed on the caterpillar and eventually kill it.

If you’ve spotted a hornworm with what looks like little grains of rice on them, relocate it elsewhere in your garden because you want the wasps to hatch out to feed on other pests, says Pilarchik. If you aren’t lucky enough to have the help of these wasps, you can hand pick these slow-moving caterpillars and destroy them.

Armyworms ( Spodoptera spp) are a group of small to medium-sized caterpillars that feed on a variety of plants, including tomatoes.

They have a yellow “Y” shape on their head with distinctive strips on their bodies. You’ll often notice their presence by the medium-sized fecal pellets left behind. They eat both foliage and fruits. They develop into medium-sized brown moths, says Bertone.

What to do: Spray with Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (Btk) , a naturally occurring bacteria, or spinosad when the caterpillars are small and before they tunnel into fruit. These products must be ingested by caterpillars in order for them to work.

Thrips (family Thripidae) are tiny cigar-shaped insects about 2mm long which are found on flowers and leaves. They suck material from plant tissue and cause large white or silver patches on leaves.

In high densities, they’ll also feed on fruit. “Direct damage is common, but more importantly, they can transmit viruses to plants, including tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) ,” says Bertone. Fun aside: Thrips is both the singular and plural of this insect.

What to do: Spray with an insecticidal soap or horticultural oil . Because they’re so tiny, they can easily hide from sprays, so repeat applications will be necessary.

Spider Mites

Spider Mites ( Tetranychus urticae ) are tiny arachnids, relatives of spiders, that feed on plants. They’re about 1mm long and feed in groups on the undersides of leaves, sometimes spilling over to fruit. They suck plant juices and create small stipples on leaves and fruit. Their numbers can be quite dense, says Bertone.

What to do: Use the hose to blast them off, or try an insecticidal soap or neem oil, making sure to cover them completely.

These sprays have little residual effect, so you’ll need to re-treat in 5 to 7 days. Spider mites can be persistent and often require multiple treatments, unfortunately.
