Default ICOM M802 and SCS TRXPTC?

Having successfully installed one in an M802 I would like to know if
anyone here has one or a Bluetooth SCS modem. Seems the Bluetooth
range is short. Works great if you are close enough.

Bluetooth range standard is 10 meters, but it's on 2400 Mhz so almost
anything blocks the signal, including your body which is unfortunate.

I use a Motorola S9 Bluetooth headset from a bluetooth netbook computer.
The headset receiver sits on the back of your neck. It's range suffers
when you're walking towards the computer, and you're head is absorbing the
signal.
