[QUOTE="Scrubbit, post: 881830, member: 71886"] I think you are confusing barometric and station pressure (and maybe density altitude). It's not the easiest concept to grasp, and I screwed it up for a while until I did some research on it. To get the Kestrel to read and use station pressure accurately (or any other ballistics software), you need to set the altitude to zero. In my ballistics calculator (Gunsim) both the altitude and density altitude have to be set to zero and the station pressure from my Kestrel (with altitude of 0 input) inputted to get accurate data. The only reason to set the altitude to your actual altitude with the Kestrel is if you want to calculate barometric pressure. My explanation is probably confusing. Here's a good link.
