The one I'm looking at is the kestrel 2500.  Is it worth going to the 3500?
i have the kestrel 2500 and think its great. I use it more for pressure and temp than wind. But also for wind.
does it give absolute pressure or do you have to convert it?
absolute pressure. set me calculator elevation to 0 and enter the pressure on my kestrel and good to go

That was a big problem for me not long ago. I was using pressure from my weather app and getting crazy numbers and drop was not adding up. Thanks again
