Simple answer is yes...........The radio's most of us have are on the FRS frequency......or family radio system. This system in most all radios has a channel and a sub channel. As long as all your radio's are tuned to the same setting it doesn't matter what Brand name the radio is. However, there are a few lower priced radios out there without sub channels. If a guy in your group has one of those, the rest of the group can tune to his channel and a zero sub channel number and they all will work together. The BCA unit is nice in that you can quickly tune the mic as it has 4 I think settings....A, B, C, D,.....Very good radio....several of the guides had them last year. I have been using a radio system for so long its like not wearing underwear if I go out without one. The mic to the radio in the backpack keeps the radio protected, and puts the mic where you want it. I like it under my right ear. You are flying through a meadow and the thing starts to squawk, you know some one is on it, and you can get to a stop before using your throttle hand to respond.....kind of a safe thing for you. Most radios out there are the short distance type. Can't talk to the lodge 10 miles away....can't talk to a buddy stuck behind you 3 or 4 miles back, this is a real good short distance thing between friends riding together....under the ear, hear a noise, whats up, stop to check it out, and go back to help......I want you to know I have had occasion to hear people from a long way off when I'm up high and the line of sight is good and the signal can travel.So, to answer the question....the BCA is a good radio......
