    AB4500 Kestrel range display ?

    Did you ever get an answer to this? It's happening on my 5700x and I can't figure it out..

    Garmin Foretrex 701 Problems

    No issue updating the unit via the Garmin app from my perspective. It's the transfer of ballistic profiles to/from the unit that was proving challenging until I used your instructions to 'unlock' that.

    They may only provide newer versions to paying customers - but that's only speculation on my part.

    Garmin Foretrex 701 Problems

    Probably the one I'd go with until AB get their shit together. You can still run profiles through that build to the 701 - just make sure you search for @MarinePMI post on how to do that. I have Build 83 which was part of the AB Analytics purchase package.

    Garmin Foretrex 701 Problems

    I ran into that as well, as I was haplessly wandering around the internet trying to find some sort of instructions before @MarinePMI scribings saved my sorry ass. Problem you may find with the link on the Kestrel page is that it isn't the current builder version, which I think is around v83 or...

    Garmin Foretrex 701 Problems

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread - but you might like to know, this is still the way it needs to be done. I just acquired a 701 unit and without your guide, I would've been, well....f*cked. Unbelievable how poor the interface and lack of instructions from AB are. Feels like a case of 'half-arsed...

    Mighty Armory Sizing Dies

    I've got the decapper, which is the absolute duck's balls. Love the damned thing. Also have the 6.5CM FL die - have had it for some time. Excellent. I've been using sizing wax very sparingly, without issue. I sent Wayne an email ages ago asking why he says not to use Hornady 1-shot but got no...

    Change Kestrel Unit name?

    This unit name sounds oddly familiar.... ;)

    Change Kestrel Unit name?

    5700-X model. Recent ‘new’ model with a faster processor and a few other extra features. Have a look at the Kestrel Ballistics site.

    Change Kestrel Unit name?

    It’s a Kestrel X, so that is the issue? If so, is there anywhere I should look to find this info prior to taking up bandwidth here? No documentation that came with the X indicated this.

    Change Kestrel Unit name?

    Oddly, my 5700 won't connect to the standard (non-ballistic) Link app at all - keeps giving a 'connection failed' message. It will connect to the Ballistics version with no issue at all. Have tried all the usual fixes, including switching BT connections on/off (kestrel and android phone) and...

    Thanks very much (y)

    Change Kestrel Unit name?

    Is there a way of renaming a kestrel 5700 unit from the default 'model-s/n' name that it appears as when linked to the Kestrel ballistics app? I've searched here, the kestrel site(s) and done a web search - and searched all unit and app settings - but have rolled a donut. No doubt there's a...

    How is the replacement 3200 working out?

    Leica 3200com (edited)

    Can't comment on the 2800 - it's not something I've looked at. Sorry. I've been laser-focused (pardon the pun) on the 3200s and all I can tell you about those is essentially a distilled version of what's been detailed in this thread. That, and the fact that I'm not buying one until all the...

    Leupold Mark 4 TMR Spotters — 12-40 vs 20-60

    I just bought the 12-40, as I find any greater magnification difficult in mirage conditions and in getting a stabilized image. I’ve heard that Cory Trapp and Co. use the MkIV spotters for their ELR work at Gunsite. If that is the case then perhaps touch base with him. He’s active on here.

    I’m getting the feeling that it won’t be an easy fix, at least not for the 3200s. Poor choice of placement of the BT antenna in a less signal transparent housing and clearly glitchy software. Great glass but Leica have done themselves no favours here.
  19. Mr Flannel

    ^^^Same. Won’t buy the 3200s until they invest some proper effort to solve the BT/connectivity and related issues. Sig are streets ahead in this area, comparatively speaking.

    Steiner M1050R vs T1042R vs something else?

    You can’t manipulate the focus on the M1050s whilst glassing to get best detail on far targets, or to pick up mirage, etc. Unless something has changed, the 1050s have a fixed objective focus, which is an infinity-lIke setting, good for 20m and out according to Steiner spec. It’s great for...
