[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 881656, member: 63748"] Have you tried calibrating your Kestrel from a known weather station? [url=http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/US/MT/Helena.html]Helena, MT Weather Forecast from Weather Underground[/url] There is a station in the north hills. I will take my Kestrel 4500NV to this station with the known altitude and adjust the Baro pressure as indicated by the link above using the instructions in the Kestrel manual corresponding to this altitude. I have found after calibrating my altitude will vary by 300ft. Not significant enough for a ballistics solution for my needs. Every Kestrel will have some degree of error after being set at the factory. It's ultimately up to the user to determine if the errors are acceptable. I hope I'm reading what you are asking. [/QUOTE]
