Backcountry Access BC Link 2.0 Radio

I must write a review because you could get half a dozen Talkabouts for the price of just one of these. But Talkabouts and Midlands are not clear. Headsets and remote mics make them even worse. And I have tried many. In a large ski group last week, most of us have Talkabouts. A few have remote mics. A friend and I each got a BCA2. Both sending and receiving were much clearer. The range seemed better too. But I'm not sure. My guess is it's about the same. To me, the clarity makes the expense worth it. I think the clarity is due to the mic's connection to the base. It not like some old audio connector.

This is a pretty handy walkie talkie setup. I love remote attachment moving all unit features to the remote. the belt clip on the remote and the unit are very sturdy and strong and made of metal. I love the remote clip can be rotated 360 degrees to get any angle i want. I have it put in a camel back and attached through the loops to the front of the pack strap. it keeps right on my shoulder. Performs way better than a basic walkie talkie and remote Motorola set up i had previously (lower end .5 watt)

Reliable, durable and decent range

Let me start with my one complaint. It is the fact it uses micro USB instead of USB C for charging. Definitely not a deal breaker! When riding in the back country, it's been great having a reliable radio for communication. I use a Cardo for conversation while riding, but the range on a Cardo is a fraction of the range of a BCA in the same conditions. This is used as my backup communicator and it hasn't let me down! I can easily get 3 rides out of a single charge, maybe more. The quick channel set function is nice for the different groups I ride with. It would be nice if it shipped with frog skinz on the mic but I've never had an issue and I've gone head firsts into plenty of snow wells. I'd definitely recommend it to friends.

We love these radios for out off-road adventures. The range, battery, and ruggedness are superb. We’ve had our fly out of our vehicles after rolling them and these things keep ticking.

Nice setup Works well with gloves on

I liked this radio when I got to use it. It was clear audio and easy to use with gloves on while snowmobiling. I cannot recommend it though as the microphone connection is incredibly weak. It has broken twice on me at the top portion where there is a little plastic tab. It should have been another screw up top like the bottom which has never been a problem. When the tab breaks your microphone will no longer work.

I bought theses for backcountry skiing and hiking. The quality Audio and extreme battery life led me to buy two more units. We used in Moab which helped spotter and multiple vehicles stay in touch. They have high and low power. Battery lasts days without charging. They can work with other two way radios. Way more applications than I expected.
