If you are using a VPN disable it, if using a Tor enabled browser (like Brave) use Chrome instead.

Most likely I understood what was the matter.
Kestrel has launched a new site for shooters. https://kestrelballistics.com/
And the direction for other purposes and with other devices was left on the old website https://kestrelinstruments.com/
I've downloaded another Kestrel Link app. When the application is launched, it does not connect to the server and writes that there is no Internet connection. Internet connection is solid 500 mb/s
I connected the app via Bluetooth with my Kestrel and tried to update the firmware from the application, but it failed again.
an error popped up about the lack of an Internet connection.
I turn on the VPN on my laptop and everything works. But I can’t enable vpn on my cell phone, and I can’t update the firmware of the device.
most likely New hosting does not allow IP requests from Russia. Therefore, neither updating the firmware nor simply visiting the site works. you need to write to them to fix this problem.

Well, I learned you are correct. Try turning off WiFi and see if you can link and update that way. Maybe cell service will bypass the block.
OK, we think we have a solution that we should be able to implement by this weekend. I will keep you posted.
I have the Kestrel/Hornady 5700 4 DOF version 1.49. Today at the range I attempted to update the kestrel latitude using the LINK ballistics software (android phone) and the 5700 4 DOF continues to show zero. I would appreciate any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.
I turned on the GPS and it now updates the latitude. Thanks - much appreciated.
The product was discontinued in 2017. Our costs to maintain the database to update units that have code that is older than 5 years have increased year over year.
We will continue to support this product, and all Kestrel 5700 Sportsman have the ability to convert to the current Kestrel 5700 code at no charge via our free app.
The KST1000 Shot Timer from Kestrel Ballistics is now available for sale!

Yes. I have been instructed to watch ITAR and EAR99 restrictions in regards to all devices with AB on board.
is there a list of products that cannot be exported from the US due to ITAR restrictions? I use my Kestrel 5700 ballistic for shooting decisions and for observing the surrounding weather and water temperature.
Kestrel has a statement here: https://kestrelinstruments.com/compliance. It is the data inside the devices that restricts them to only EAR99 countries.
For example, I'm flying from the continental United States to Turkey with my family. In my luggage, I have a Kestrel 5700 Ballistics. I intend to use it only for personal purposes such as monitoring the weather, air temperature, and water temperature. Will I have any legal issues or not? Who can answer? Turkey is not on the list of countries under U.S. embargo.
