Kestrel weather station

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.

what unit would you recommend for a poor boy that travels

Fred, I have been very pleased with the performaire unit. No complaints at all! I also would like to say that I appreciate your feedback. One question, could I expect the same quality performance with the pocket unit as opposed to the performaire?

Thanks,

Robert

The sensor technology/accuracy is the same on all of our PerformAIRE systems. You would be giving up the prediction/data base capability when comparing to the PerformAIRE model PA2.

IF you are NOT looking for prediction capability you could go with the PerformAIRE Pocket, but if you do want to be able to predict ET or Throttle Stop the PerformAIRE model PA2 would be the way to go.
