Kestrel Sportsman not updating?

[JMGlasgow]

I have a Kestrel Sportsman AB that is on version 1.49. A friend of mine has an Elite that is on version 1.53. Is my Kestrel up to date?

Do I download that link to my phone and then connect the Kestrel using Kestrel link?

you need either the Bluetooth dongle or cable to update the firmware via pc

 

[JMGlasgow]

Well that sucks.

Well that sucks.

When you connect it to Kestrel LiNK Ballistics is it not prompting for an update after about 10 seconds?

 

[JMGlasgow]

It is not. I even tried reinstalling kestrel link.

It does say you should be on 1.53. If it doesn't kick over, give NK an email and see if they can update it for you.

Also, i just checked mine. i had an old version of the app. there is a whole new app and when i connected it updated immediately. check your app version.

After I reinstalled it the software version is 298

When the Kestrel connects to the app it goes through the authentication process, checks firmware and hardware, and then it's ready to use. No mention of an update needed.

That’s the old app or at least a different one. I downloaded this one and mine updated immediately which was a nice surprise cause I have only ever done it via my pc.

Interesting I am still using the black and yellow app. Had no clue there was a different one. I just went and updated mine but don’t have a clue what version it updated too.

I’ll have to look into the new app.

I downloaded the other app, connected my Kestrel Sportsman AB Link and ConX and now when I want to check for updates it gives me this message. I've tried it on 2 different wireless networks and still no luck.

Updated yesterday through my iPhone to version 1.53 on the sportsman.

Have you tried reaching out to NK @JMGlasgow? https://kestrelballistics.com/nk/contact/contact-us/

 

[JMGlasgow]

I did. They said there is an issue with the firmware update and they are working on it.
