Problem with BCA link radio

[prormk10]

I just got a BCA link radio and I'm getting bad interference and squelching when under throttle? I switched with my buddy and had no issue on his sled. As soon as I got back on mine and I hit the throttle I start getting squelching off and on again. Any ideas what's going on, I'm riding a new axys.

Have you tried to switch radios with one of your buddies and see if the problem follows the radio? I am guessing it will, but worth a shot and once you have an answer then call BCA.

What kind of spark plugs are you running?

 

[prormk10]

Yes we did try different channels, same problem. I'm still running the stock spark plugs, but i'm not sure what they are.


Like I said, we did swap sleds with my buddy and he never had any issues with his radio while riding my machine. At the same time I never had any issues with my radio when I was riding his? As soon as I hopped back on mine and hit the throttle the squelching started again??

Sorry I should of read all of your first post and not stop after the first sentence my bad

But still sounds like you are getting some weird RF interference off your sled.

A couple guys in our group get the same thing. Not sure what the cause is.

Sounds like classic RF Interference.
What sled are you riding, Model and Year?

 

[prormk10]

I'm riding a 2016 axys 163. I contacted BCA and they think it's an issue with the radio or mic so they are sending me a new one.

Yup
Brand new sled is VERY unlikely to have that level of RF leakage coming out of the ignition system.

Gotta love customer service line that. I had a air canister that would lose pressure and they replaced it with no questions. Hard to find service line that these days

I agree, I gave them the same explanation of what was happening and that's all they needed. I already have a float bag and would definitely do more business with BCA.


Hopefully it is just the radio and nothing more, should know within a weeks time.

Please post back with the results. I find it hard to believe we'd need to send in a bunch of the brand new radios in our group....

Ran into the interference/squelching issue with our new Link radios and Axis sleds. Called BCA, they basically told me to bad, there is nothing they can do (after the purchase of FOUR radios) told me to call Polaris and complain.

I contacted a AV instructor to get his take on the situation, he stated that the Axis is also causing interference with avalanche beacons.

I wonder what it is about the Axys that's pissing off electronics. Strange!

Which gauge you have?

 

[Wowmom]

Which gauge you have?

Not my sled, but it wasn't a snow check machine so the basic standard gauge is my guess.

 

[Indy_500]

Mine makes a lot of noise too on my axys.

 

[blastco2]

Have you tried setting a tone? You will need to set the same tone on all radios in your group.

If you dont know what I'm refering to, google "ctcss". I'm sure the link has that ability.

Could it be the PIDD gauge that is setting off the interference? I just bought a 17 snocheck with this gauge. I also have the bca radio. Im going up tues the 29. Ill test my radio also.
