[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 843012, member: 11717"] I haven't seen that thread... gotta link? The third chrony was mine, an accustic Superchrony. It was much less consistant than the Oehler and Magnetospeed especially at higher velocities. The next day I went to use it the batteries were shot, so not really sure if that had anything to do with it. IMO, you can't tell which was most accurate between the Oehler and the Magnetospeed unless you have other baselines or equipment to measure them against. What you can deduce is that the Oehler is a proven instrument with a fairly high level of reliability and that the 2 agreed very closely. For me, it says both are probably quite accurate to within a few fps. I doubt that either is perfect and any one who actually, implicitly believe the numbers they see on their LCD is deluding themselves. I think a good test for an Oehler is to set a couple up back to back, and see how they compare. My guess is there would be some deviation and I would also guess that ant one unit might be a little more or less accurate then another. Even doppler radar has an accuracy window, I know because I was an AF navigator and used it quite a lot. Each unit in each aircraft had its own personality. Any LE officer who has used it can probably testify to the same. As for the PITA factor, the magnetospeed is waaayyyyy easier to use than the typical chrony and is not affected by environmental conditions. Anyway, I don't have a negative opinion of you.. I was just jumping in to set the record straight. Peace :) [/QUOTE]
