No issue updating the unit via the Garmin app from my perspective. It's the transfer of ballistic profiles to/from the unit that was proving challenging until I used your instructions to 'unlock' that.

They may only provide newer versions to paying customers - but that's only speculation on my part.

Probably the one I'd go with until AB get their shit together. You can still run profiles through that build to the 701 - just make sure you search for @MarinePMI post on how to do that. I have Build 83 which was part of the AB Analytics purchase package.

I ran into that as well, as I was haplessly wandering around the internet trying to find some sort of instructions before @MarinePMI scribings saved my sorry ass. Problem you may find with the link on the Kestrel page is that it isn't the current builder version, which I think is around v83 or...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread - but you might like to know, this is still the way it needs to be done. I just acquired a 701 unit and without your guide, I would've been, well....f*cked. Unbelievable how poor the interface and lack of instructions from AB are. Feels like a case of 'half-arsed...

I've got the decapper, which is the absolute duck's balls. Love the damned thing. Also have the 6.5CM FL die - have had it for some time. Excellent. I've been using sizing wax very sparingly, without issue. I sent Wayne an email ages ago asking why he says not to use Hornady 1-shot but got no...

This unit name sounds oddly familiar.... ;)

5700-X model. Recent ‘new’ model with a faster processor and a few other extra features. Have a look at the Kestrel Ballistics site.

It’s a Kestrel X, so that is the issue? If so, is there anywhere I should look to find this info prior to taking up bandwidth here? No documentation that came with the X indicated this.

Oddly, my 5700 won't connect to the standard (non-ballistic) Link app at all - keeps giving a 'connection failed' message. It will connect to the Ballistics version with no issue at all. Have tried all the usual fixes, including switching BT connections on/off (kestrel and android phone) and...

Thanks very much (y)

Is there a way of renaming a kestrel 5700 unit from the default 'model-s/n' name that it appears as when linked to the Kestrel ballistics app? I've searched here, the kestrel site(s) and done a web search - and searched all unit and app settings - but have rolled a donut. No doubt there's a...

How is the replacement 3200 working out?

Can't comment on the 2800 - it's not something I've looked at. Sorry. I've been laser-focused (pardon the pun) on the 3200s and all I can tell you about those is essentially a distilled version of what's been detailed in this thread. That, and the fact that I'm not buying one until all the...
