Default Re: Kestrel weather station

How do you measure Oxygen do you have a sensor? I have used a Oxygen Meter since 1985. % of oxygen has a big affect on performance! a change from 19.8% to 19.5 is big!

Systems that are designed for hiking, aviation, sailing, etc that are not licensed by Altronics can only calculate "text book" Density that will not always correctly relate to horsepower changes. Although it may seem ok under minimal or similar changes in atmosphere it will prove inaccurate as conditions change.
