Kestrel weather station - Page 2

Can the older units be up graded?

I don't know about the Kestrel but my 98 model performaire would cost $300 or more to up grade. Thus, I am buying a new weather station.

Not sure if you are asking about PerformAIRE's or not, but the answer is yes they can. There is a service form on the Tech Support page of our website that has all the info needed to send it in.

Normal update and calibration fee is $89. If your unit is built before 2004 and needs other repairs it may cost addtional as stated on form.

I have a Kestrel and Altronics. I am using the Kestrel while the Altronics is in for repair.The density altitude in the Kestrel does not seem to be very accurate.

Mine is about 200 off from other system.
But consistent when weather changes.

For drag racing it is ok.
Would not use it to fly an airplane in high altitude airports.
Especially in Summer.
