Anybody Use The Kestrel 4250?

Jim,

I used one for 3 years( not using it now as upgraded) and never had an issue other than the original calibration for Baro and alt/ ( had to convert from Kilopascales ) and estimate actual altitude for my location. However once set, it remained steady. The wind meter is good in the staging lanes, and using the 'history" helps find irregularities. Just have to be conscious of the sample rate so as not to run out of storage or battery life. Mine was old enough that there was no blue tooth to worry about. used the weather log if there were time delays from run to actually getting back to trailer to record.

For the money, I don't think you can get any better.
