Backcountry Access BC Link 2.0

Bought two, screwed the mics on, both failed at the screw attaching the mic to the base unit immediately. The screw is held by a nut in the base unit of the radio. Both nuts were pulled from the base unit when tightened. I expected better quality by BCA.

If you're venturing out in the backcountry, this radio is a must! It's easy to use, has good range and battery life. The ability to reach others in your group, or others in the area is paramount, and this makes it super easy. I bought this over the original version due to the supposedly extended range, and updated mic connection, but the original is still a great option at a cheaper price.

This radio rocks. Super simple to use and has great range & battery life. I've used it on 4-5 tours so far and have no complaints! A must-have for backcountry adventures!

After using the first generation of BC link for the past two seasons, this is a pleasant upgrade. The range of this radio is much better than the first one and stays on the same channel much better. I use this for snowmobiling and it works great for communicating with my party. Highly recommend for any backcountry user, regardless of how you choose to travel through it.

Good design and improvement on the clip. This really makes skiing in the backcountry and communication much easier

I've used the original link for years. Longer battery life and stronger radio makes for a solid upgrade. I also was pumped to see that they updated the way the remote cord mounts to the radio. Seeing the review on here about it failing is a bummer I thought it seems like a good design, but hopefully that one was indeed just a lemon. Fortunately between the BCA warranty and Backcountry's customer service it's easy to remedy such things, but fingers crossed she holds strong.

I also like the redesign of the remote, they added plastic around the dials to help you avoid accidental channel changing which did happen to me from time to time with the old one.

Use this radio for 2 days. Day 3 I noticed it was not turning on and just left it in my pack assuming the battery was dead. Got back at the end of the day and found that the small plastic piece where it connects to the main body of the radio had broken and was only being held by the screw and was not making good contact. Poor design in my opinion as this radio was only in my pack and I would not have expected anything to break. I may try another one of these, if not, I will be picking up one of the originals.

Works just as great if not better than the first! Love bca and their radios are a great fit to your avy gear!

This is certainly an improvement over the first version! The redesigned mic sheds snow and makes communicating with your partners in the backcountry so easy. With its improved long range, communication from the top of a run to your partner further down is crystal clear and easy. Charge time is short and usues a micro usb so nothing weird there. I strongly recommend for anyone skiing the backcountry! The puch to talk botton is better now, and its easy to adjust volume or which channel you are on all with the part that is strapped to your backpck.
