Backcountry Access BC Link

Why We Like The BC Link

Apart from changing conditions and gear malfunctions, one of biggest variables we´ll encounter in the backcountry is group communication. So, we prepare by bringing the BCA BC Link Group Communication System. This lightweight microphone and radio/battery pack keeps the lines of communication open whether we´re making an on-mountain change of course while backpacking or coordinating search and rescue efforts in the event of an emergency.

Designed to fit neatly with BCA´s Stash series of packs, this two-way radio will grab onto any ol´ pack you have. Both units are designed to be water- and dust-resistant to deal with snow and storage. Equipped with 22 FRS and GMRS channels and 121 sub-channels, the BC Link delivers near-constant clarity when conveying critical information. You´ll be able to stay in touch with others not lucky enough to have this little number since it is compatible with all standard FRS/GMRS radios.
