Labradar LX - I guess they have an answer for the Garmin Zero. Maybe?

[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 3011218, member: 1039"] I've had a LabRadar for a long time. The USB port gave up recently so I switched to using batteries. That actually solved an intermittent problem where it would stop communicating with the app. I also found that if there was another blue tooth signal nearby it would sometimes interfere. I use an iPad for the app and if I left my phone bluetooth on it caused problems. All I care about is MV. Once I added an external trigger I stopped having intermittent problems with the LR missing data. I finally have it working pretty well. I have a Garmin. I haven't used it yet. It's smaller. I like that. It's SD calc is correct. Average velocity is correct. The Garmin brought to light that the LR was using the wrong calc for SD and that there were rounding errors in the average velocity calc. I made a spreadsheet that's basically a load data card that does all of the calcs for me, for each group, so that doesn't bother me (not true... it bugs the **** out of me otherwise I wouldn't have made the spreadsheet). I print the top portion and write the readings down as I shoot. When I get home I put the numbers in the sheet and transfer the values to my target (the target has places to record the data. I'm keeping my spreadsheet but will probably take both the LR and Garmin to the range until I feel like I can trust the Garmin. I'm not going to set both of them up. In my work world I've calibrated transmitters in the past. Some sites had two, one for redundancy. When I was an I&E tech we said that one device gave us the answer, two was a discussion (which one is right), and three are an argument. I just need the answer.
