- What the others have said is true. The sample rate is pretty slow,
- and the baro window doesn't work the way you would think.
-
- So what I do is set mine for pressure altitude (set it on a day
- near 29.92). Then I leave it alone, correcting it 100'/.1" pressure
- delta from standard. It's amazingly close then.
-
- Now what they really missed... on the older ones anyway... is no second
- time zone so that you can set in Z time. Would have traded one of the
- stop watches for that (but not the count down one!)
-
- The most fun one can have with it is checking cabin altitude in commercial
- flights.
