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.

On my '16 with the basic gauge I had bad interference. As soon as the sled went above idle, the radio squawked. Constantly. I ended up shutting it off unless I needed to talk to someone. Just my BCA though, my Rino never has had an issue.

All the Poo's in my group make my bca radio freak out
perfectly quiet when they are not around
My cheap midlands radios had no problem with the Poo's
So I'm going to blame Poo and BCA

Just rode in Togwotee with BCA Links. Our guide, had us switch to Channel 6, Privacy 7. He said the Axys make the radios squeal on other channels. Rode three days, no problems...

A couple of things that might help.... Check the ground straps that should be from engine to chasis. If there is none, install one. Make sure the ignition coil, ecm and gauges are well grounded.
And the simplest, try setting a subaudible tone (sub channel) on your radio. Everyone in your group will have to do the same or you won't hear them. Try different channels and different tones.
Read the wiki article titled CTCSS, to gain an understanding of subaudible tones and what to expect.
