Thanks for making this. I love the build quality of the 2.0. It might be worth mentioning though that the chart provided on your website for download doesn't have a complete list of privacy codes on these radios. Where the chart ends at 38, the radio keeps going to privacy code 121. While the difference is made up in DCS codes, it might be handy to have that referenced in the chart, in the case for SAR, Sherriff's offices, and other first responders. Either way, this radio is a favorite for its design. I do wish it had a few other features in the firmware but it still gets the job done. Thank you.
So my radio was working at the beginning of this season and then now I can receive but I can’t send out at all the other people get is just nothing but a click when I let go of the button like it’s working but there not getting my voice is there a way to fix that or is my radio just not good anymore I’ve only had it for 2 seasons now and my buddy has the same one as me
I can’t seem to program anything. Even after factory reset, all the presets are stuck on weather mode. When I select a channel manually, the privacy code says IF5 and I can’t get it to do set to anything else. Did I get a defect?
Problem with presets - I can't seem to set two letters to the same channel ... with different privacy codes. If I set C to channel 2 privacy code 24, and then set E to ch2 pc10 ... then when I flip BACK to preset C, it's still ch2, but now pc10 (when it should be 24). BC Link 1.0. Wassup?
It actually starts beeping only after one hour, but one hour of no interaction. The timer resets every time you push the push-the-talk button. And if it starts to beep after an hour, then all you have to do is push the button or turn it off and back on again. Then you’re good for another hour. Of course, it will never beep at you if you use it at least once an hour.
That's going to depend on where you are out there. These radios will do best in a line-of-sight environment, like in the alpine. Even if your party is up on a ridge and you're down below the cliffs somewhere, these will still work really well. If you are on top of a mountain and talking to someone else on top of another mountain, a situation where the radios can "see" each other, the range will be phenomenal. If you're both in a forest you'd be lucky to get more than a couple of miles. With 4x more power (2 Watts) the Link 2.0 can overcome some of the obstructions between radios. Hope that helps.
Really too bad you changed the design The design of the original was respectable and rugged This looks like your average blister pack radios designed for toddlers

Hi! Great review. But I can’t connect the US version with the EU version. 😢 help pliss. Thanks.
one question- I have link 2.0 EU version, and it only has 8 channels with privacy codes- thats it. I can't go to channels above 8. Is that normal?

Quiet strange I can't get mine to turn on at all after charging it out of the box, any ideas?

I saw this same thing on two of the 1.0's. My 2.0 does not do this. Not sure why.
does anyone know if there any brands that only have a one to one channel so others cant hear you?
Everybody can hear you.
Hi, I was thinking about getting these for hunting. Can you turn off the beeping sound that beeps after the radio has been on for 2hrs?

What is the FCC ID: ?
is your call sign
I mean the radios FCC number.
You know what I want to check? The radios wattage output and radio onissions
You're not going to give me that information, are you?
What is the approximate usable range?
That's going to depend on where you are out there. These radios will do best in a line-of-sight environment, like in the alpine.

@@backcountryamateurradio okay but how many milles or km?
I would say 1 mile as all f r s radio's are the same by F C C rules.
meaning short range
What frequencies are these?
462.5625 -467.7125 Family Radio Service "FRS". (FCC FRS Rules)
How come everyone uses channel 4,20 😀
thay don't go through the channels and pic another channel

Are the privacy codes dcs or ctcss?
all privacy channels do is block someone from talking to you on your channel
but thay can still lission in onyou
