I have one it it has been great so far. I've gotten 10 miles out if the stock antenna here in AB. Haven't had any issues talking to other riders in the mountains.
Plus you can talk to the loggers if you need to.

I agree. I will not ride without a garmin rino. When everyone in the group has one it makes the ride so much better.


Yeah Rhino's are the cats ass for the trees. I only have a BCA (as you already know) But if I find one on sale im going to pick one up.

But some sort of radio, is the minimum you should be carrying for backcountry communication.

I ordered mine on amazon. Came with 2 batteries and I got the wired mic for it.

Motorola has a mic that is compatible with the Garmin Rino 650 and it works great! Number on the back of the mic is NTN8867A.

I was talking about the Baofeng. I have a rhino 650 also which is a great radio. Try to buy a US version since it has higher wattage.
