Thanks for reminding me, my old faithful Kestrel is hopefully in my dakota....Feel naked without it.
The 5100 is the new model, if you are finding it is off on the temperature inside your house, I would contact Kestrel. At track, walk around with it a bit to cool it off when in direct sunlight. I change the batteries once a year whether it needs it or not. Great product. My antique dates back to 2010 maybe older? I had to replace the wind meter and lost the wind cover and the soft pounce over the decade, it came with a nice tough pouch too back then. Gives you a lot of useful info, and its small.
I just ordered a brand newee 5100 from biondo racing like my original. Will see if I like it as much. I can't see where I wouldn't.
