Kestral 5700 AB wind correction

[DP425]

Am I missing something on the wind correction? I thought this thing would give real-time wind correction? It appears that I have to manually set the wind speed and direction? Or allow it to data log for a bit, then us an averaged out correction based upon that?

Is that really my only option?

The phone app that goes with it- kind of annoying that you can set the wind info on the Kestral but not the app... however, you can set the range info on both. Seems strange. Any advice?

you have to hit the button for live capture for real time updates on the unit, but unless it's in a vane mount there isn't much point doing that

I guess I'll need to look into the options more. Is that the same thing that does what appears to be data-logging?

I did have it in a vane mount.

RTFM bro...

To start wind capture mode:
1. Highlight wind on the Kestrel Device.
2. Press the Capture Button

(Top Center Button) once. The word Wind will change to W with an Arrow. Pressing the capture button again will lock in your current wind. If you wish to use a live wind feed, example: you have the kestrel in a wind vane mount, then only press the wind capture button once, and leave wind capture running.

Somehow I totally missed that in the manual.

Thanks.
