Each rating increases the capacity by one. Earbuds only have 3 cap. And to Brehus you cant add ear buds as a mod for glasses/goggles.They are a device un to themselves.

Do go ahead and find a rule stating that they do so.  I've certainly never seen one.

[Lightning Rod]

Well the people at Hero Labs must have.  Doesn't matter we use Hero Labs in my group and you can't fit everything avalible into earbuds via That program. Again I did state that is what I am trying to use Hero Labs to get all of the sensors onto goggles, earbuds, and a comlink.

Or Hero Labs has the rule wrong.  That said, if you're using it as the arbiter of these sorts of rules, well...

It's a mess-up. The rating of goggles, earbuds, etc. is supposed to be how many of the appropriate type of enhancement it can hold (regardless of rating).

The ratings of vision sensors and imaging devices equals the number of vision enhancements that can be applied to the device.

The rating of such devices equals the number of audio enhancements they can be fitted with.

Props to you for finding that page number first, All4.

Don't forget that, besides Tacnets being expensive all on their own, you also need good commlinks to run them. And will want good electronic protection.

[Brehus]

Tacnets can be really cheap when everyone is handed a slaved commlink. just need one copy of the tacsoft and a single good commlink, I'm talking rigger quality system because the max number of subscriptions you can have is systemX2

A cheap commlink is 500nuyen. It can't stand on it's own, but then it doesn't need to.

[All4BigGuns]

Yeah, he's right, only one person needs to go to the expense of having the high-end comm and the software. Probably best to let the Rigger take care of it because he'll probably have the highest Electronic Warfare skill for encrypting that network.

This is probably why Hero Labs says you can't fit everything into earbuds. You can find it in the section called Audio Enhancements.
Pg 333 SR4A
Audio enhancements are commonly available as earbuds or headphones. Each will play audio input from AR or other sources. Each enhancement costs 1 Capacity (per rating).

[RHat]

That last sentence isn't in the copy I've got here...

[mtfeeney = Baron]

Huh, I never noticed that before.  Someone should let the Chummer guy know so he can update his program to reflect this.

[Mantis]

RHat: It's in the latest copy of the PDF (March 29 version I believe).

mtfeeney:  I've let the Chummer guy know but he says the majority seems to want to do things the other way. He did provide me an alternate gear file to keep those capacity limits though. You can find it via OMAE in the drop down menus.

[Lightning Rod]

Personaly I like that not everything that can go into earbuds can fit in a pair at the same time.. It is the same for goggles when it comes to how much you can add to them from what is available. But it isn't true in regards to vision enhancements.

[mtfeeney = Baron]

Plus you can wear 2 vision systems, contracts and glades or goggles.

[KarmaInferno]

Pshaw. Helmet over goggles over glasses over contact over cybereyes!

I'm pretty sure that goggles would take up the space that glasses would need...or would then be so large you wouldn't be able to find a helm that wouldn't encumber you.
