I would think each like SBR's link..
In all reality, the radio will be used for somewhat close range (4km) anything more you would think that your group should get their chit together..LOL
Basically we use our radios for it's beyond the "YELLING" range distance.

Got mine. Then had to find a good place for them. Not sure why the hole was in my pack but the radio just fits. The straps are meant to hold skies. The top strap went nicely through the mic and antenna to hold it in place.
For those of you considering putting in helmet speakers to be used with the BCA radios.....
I just installed my speakers into my helmet and tired it. It appears the BCA radio port is Mono so only one speaker is working. I installed a 3.5 mono to 3.5 stereo adapter and it's working great. When someone talks it seriously sounds like they are inside your head!
Also a caution about mic location. I had mine on my right shoulder but it was interfering with my Air bag deploy handle. Definitely don't want that. I now have the mic mounted center chest on the chest strap. Perfect location. Just tilt your head down slightly when talking as it makes a big difference clarity wise.
Hope this helps....

These radios are awesome, even when riding you can clearly hear your buddies. Wish all of them had these and these are much better than the regular radios. The only problem I have had so far is I had to make all my channels the same as the remote unit seems to get bumped very easily and change the channels. The battery life on these is great, Ive only charged every second day. I ran this for the full 10 days when I was in Mcbride sledding and many were asking about them, there great.

Best answer would come from Maxwell who has been using these units part of last season and all of this season.

On the low frequency channels they are easy 3km on mild terrain. About 1km on steep trees terrain. And on the high frequency channels It will do 3+ in all conditions no problem. Never really use the high power channels though

haven't had that problem yet.... Keep it up on my left shoulder on my avy pack... Have been out in -20*c weather with it. Might have to use some silicone spray on the knobs, if i experience that problem

Yea they knobs will freeze up but it's always on the channel you want and at full volume so it doesn't really matter. They will move. Had my mic freeze up for the first time last weekend just blew into the mic opening to remove the snow and all was well just keep an eye on it

Yeah its not a big issue, but if you go to change the channel(as I do some times) you have to thaw it out with you hands or some thing.

good feedback to send to BCA for future versions of the radio!
