Backcountry Access BC Link 2.0 Radio

We use these snowmobiling and love them. We rarely have service with our cell phones and have no problems at all communicating with these radios.

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.

Good radio but here’s a few thoughts. Radio doesn’t work without the handset, attaching the handset cable to the radio can be finicky. Uses old school micro usb, USB C would be better so I don’t need a dedicated cable. Radio charging without handset doesn’t indicate if it’s charging (I leave my handset wired in the pack because it’s a pain in the ass to reroute). Would be good to have an antenna connection so that it could be up out of the pack. Smooth handset cable option would be nice. Some way to tell frequencies, voice prompt or display on handset would be good, I sometimes forget which lettered feq is which. Plastic quick reference card with emergency instructions would be good - I taped the instructions included but still kinda sucks. A little more volume at the high end would be good for wearing helmet while sledding.

Nice setup Works well with gloves on

Radio works great. Battery lasts for a long time and range is excellent. Very happy with this purchase.

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.
