BCA LINK VS. RINO

[pshirek]

I'm gonna pick up either BCA Link or a Rino and am looking for recommendations as to which people like better. I know the Rino pushes more watts, but just want to know if it's worth the extra cost. Do you know if you can get a handset like you can on the Links? Probably the biggest factor is if you can communicate with a Link using the Rino. Everyone I ride with has a Link, so if I wouldn't be able to talk to them it wouldn't make it worth it to get one.

Thanks

You CAN talk to the Links with the Rino.
I've done it.

They just have to be on the same exact security channel too.
Such as 7-38 or whatever.

Yes, you can get handheld microphone/speaker for the Rino radios. Don't have the info with me at the moment. But I found one with minimal internet search.

Get the Rino.
I've never seen a Rino, but i'm so fed up with garbage BCA radios that i can confidently tell you the Rino is better.

I like the rhino buddies have link radioe we communicate back and forth but in a whiteout polling features are nice for finding some one.

I have a Rino and a pair of BC Link radios.
No issues.
No problems.

I keep the Rino in my windshield bag. Volume maxed out.

I have my Link set up in my Float pack.

It's redundant, but I don't really care.

I think it's smart.
I always ride with two radios. In certain conditions and terrain they are essential.
Luckily one of them is not a BCA. Riding with two BCAs is the same as leaving all the radios in the trailer.

Does anybody have a good recommendation for a waterproof or very water resistant microphone/speaker for the Rino?

Get a Frogskin cover for whatever mic you find.

If you have more than one guy with a Rino, not sure why you wouldnt go with Rino's. You never ever lose a guy, ever. You know where he is, he knows where you are, etc. You have the all the benefits of a GPS plus the radio. Rino range may not be as good, but i find the 2 mile circle is all I need.

I found a good review of the BCA link radio at this link: https://rockymtnpursuit.com/2017/01/02/best-equipment-investment-of-2016-bc-link-radio/#more-1889

My Rino didn't come with the head set, they have these on the site. WPS sells the frog skinz vent for them that retail for $4.95. Our WPS part number for the vent is 241-2997. Most dealers are WPS vendors and can order them for you.
