Black Diamond Recon LT Beacon Review

Measuring just 11 x 7.5 x 2.5cm or 4.3 x 3 x 0.98”, the Recon LT is impressively small and easily fits in your pant pocket or the provided lightweight chest harness which is one of the most minimalist yet well-designed on the market. Given the Recon LT’s size and weight, you would assume that you'd have to give up features found on most other transceivers and that performance would be inferior but the Recon LT is just as good as those larger/heavier transceivers on the market. With 50 meters of range in both search and transmit modes, three antennas, 200+ hours of battery life and a mark function you get everything you need to stay safe skiing in the backcountry. Pretty impressive for such a small package.
