I’m having AB Quantum and Kestrel 5700 elite x issues… it’s probably operator issues.

Tall target test good, I have a Doppler for my mv, firmware is good, and my custom drag model is off by a few tenths at distance (800-1000). In the app I just correct the ballistics using cdf because I know my mv is good. Easy peasy and works everytime no problem.
I have had a kestrel for a while but never used it but recently decided I was decent enough to possibly get some use out of it. Send my profile to the kestrel and it’s off by .3 mil at 1000. It’s like my cdf didn’t transfer to the kestrel? Also I noticed that even when I turn the pin off and up my Bluetooth the environmentals don’t update in my phone app. I have to manually update them.

I’ve been able to get the kestrel really close to my app solutions by creating a new profile, using g7, and then manipulating mv (inside 600yds) or BC (600+). I don’t like this because what if I go shoot in the mountains and have a velocity change? I can’t put in the actual mv because I already had to play with the actual mv to get the kestrel tried. The app is so easy… I must be doing something wrong in the kestrel? Is there a way to manually enter cdf in kestrel with the custom drag curve? Help!!!
 
Without seeing screen shots of both devices it's gonna be hard to say for sure what the issue might be. Double check the Enviro's are identical, wind Dir and Spd are identical, Coriolis, SD, AJ are all set the same (on or off), Inclination, DOF and I'm sure I'm missing something. I have sent my profiles from AB Q to the Kestrel, Garmin Watch, SigKilos and I have finally been able to get matching information.

Not when I am trying to verify data. I lock the enviro on the kestrel and set them all the same on both devices. Having different enviro settings on each will change the output. Everything needs to be set exactly the same on both devices if you want the outputs to match. If everything is set the same and they don't match then something is not right with the profile on one or the other IMO...
