Kestrel Instruments Support & FAQs
I have calibrated my compass on my 5700 elite with link. When I capture my target direction facing East it show aprrox. 2:30 or 3:00 which I assumed to be about correct. The wind was out of the North when I do a wind direction capture facing about due
Hello Bert,
When capturing direction of fire, the angle will be shown as an absolute value. So if facing East it will show 3 o'clock. However the wind direction is a relative value based on the direction of fire. So when you are firing at 3 o'clock and have a wind direction from 12 o'clock, this will instead show as a wind from 9 o'clock which is around what you are getting. This is because the wind is technically coming from 9 o'clock (West) in relation to the DOF value. If your DOF value is 12 o'clock then the wind direction would show whatever direction you are facing.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information on this.
Regards,
Joe Racosky
