Last time I checked "about 400 feet" is about 150 yards. OTOH, I can detect an approaching vehicle at least twice that distance in my EVT helmet mirror. A couple of wobbly moves on the bike and if...

That sounds like a 1030 problem, not a Varia problem. I haven't had any audibility issues with a Bolt or with a 530.
