Why We Like The Backcountry Access BC Link Mini
The Backcountry Access BC Link Mini lets us keep track of our crew—or our kids—as we're enjoying our favorite backcountry pursuits. Durable and simple to use, this mini radio lets us communicate with other BC Link radios if we split up or get too spread out on the trail, track, or road. The most compact and accessible model within the Link system, the Mini is made for year-round use, including cold winter days, and it's optimized to use with all Backcountry Access airbags, backpacks, and vests. In addition to the radio, this item includes a standard webbing clip to attach to the shoulder straps or sternum straps of any pack, a hook-and-loop strap to connect to packs without webbing, a belt clip, a carabiner leash, and a USB-C charging cord.

Works Well So Far
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I recently upgraded from the BCA link 1.0. I wanted the single unit to be able to switch channels quicker plus it's easier to switch between backpacks without the long cord. Lightweight, good battery, works as intended. After 4 or 5 tours, I would recommend.

Nice radio
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I've used my pair of these a couple times and have some initial observations. I am happy with the size and weight. Lighter than my old motorola FRS radios. The controls feel solid and well made. Reception seems good in the field so far. Sound is good, but speaking right into the microphone causes some issues; hold the radio a bit away from your mouth helps. The units come with 2 types of clips and a leash which helps in different types of attachment points. Only issues: small initial learning curve for programming the radio, but once you understand how to do it it's simple. I don't like the key lock feature not persisting if the radio is turned off and back on; you have to lock the keys again. The clip attachment on the back seems ok, but being all plastic, hope it doesn't break. I haven't tested how long the battery lasts. The couple hours I have used them each time in the field hardly affected the battery life.
