Pieps Micro BT Button Transceiver Review

  • 2020-03-17 11:36:24
    Two years ago Pieps released a new transceiver called the Pieps Micro BT Sensor and it was pretty progressive for a few reasons. The real innovation was the lack of a send/search button, this function was handled automatically by the integrated proximity sensor so when the Micro BT Sensor Transceiver was removed from its harness or pocket it would automatically switch to search mode. Many people found this new paradigm a big leap, and so, Pieps has put the button back in the Micro. Their new Pieps Micro BT Button Transceiver has a traditional send/search button to keep everyone out there happy.

    Read the full review of the Pieps Micro BT Button Transceiver here.
