With a massive 60m circular range, mark and scan function for multiple burials, and an auto antenna switch that automatically adjusts to send the best signal, the redesigned PIEPS Pro BT beacon is still one of the industry-standard, professional-grade avalanche beacon. The new beacon’s Bluetooth connection allows you to manage settings, software updates and battery optimization from your smartphone, while the redesigned housing features soft-touch contact points for improved handling. In addition, it boasts a massive 60-meter circular range and 60-meter search strip. Throw in a self-check function for always-accurate antennas and Digital Signal Processing to account for wayward beacon signals, and the Pro BT is as reliable as it is capable. The included harness-style carrying pouch provides comfortable, streamlined storage and fast removal for beacon practice and emergency response.

Tests and Reviews
What Beacon Reviews says:
The Pieps Pro BT and Black Diamond Guide BT have excellent search ranges, simple user interfaces, and are easy to update. They also have a good scan mode, an advanced group check mode, and provide user feedback via vibration. If you learn and use the scan mode, these transceivers are even better than the already-excellent Pieps Powder/BD Recon. Read More
