Altitude vs. Barometric pressure

Wish I could get wifi from where I hunted but I am about 50 miles to high up in the mountains!

Scot you don't need to get any signal, just enter the data off a weather station and the
app will give you DA.

How are you getting weather station data without wifi? You are doing it without a Kestrel type device correct?

Even so what am I missing? If you have to enter station pressure, temp, and humidity into DanAlt then take that data and enter it into your ballistic software aren't you one step ahead to just enter the 3 into your ballistic software to begin with?

den alt needs temp, pressure, dew point and field elevation. You get that from a weather
station. Kestrel or any other. A lot of weather stations don't give you DA. The model I
use does. But if you enter a load in FTE with den alt that is the way it has to be used.
Always good to have backup in the field. Especially when it weighs and costs nothing.
I guess I could add, the program uses dew point because it is designed for flying, so
icing and carb heat require knowing the dew point anyway.

Thanks for the thread this has been very educational.
