Backcountry Access BC Link 2 0 Radio

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) Read more

Nice setup Works well with gloves on Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

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

The plastic connecter broke the very first time I inserted it into my avalanche backpack. After a bit of research, it appears this is a common issue, and a lot of people are using tape to hold their Link 2.0 together. Supposedly, the manufacturer is quick to provide replacements. However, I don't want a replacement that is fragile and flawed by design; I want a durable backcountry radio. I think I'll try my Rocky Talkie this year. Read more
