    Kestrel connection problem with Terrapin X

    Good catch. Terrapin X. I edited my post. Glad yours is working now. Did you upgrade Kestrel firmware too? I did not. I might try that next.

    Kestrel connection problem with Terrapin X

    Philip, I upgraded firmware on the Terrapin X and followed the directions. The LRF and Kestrel connected. Also connected the HUD. Measured multiple targets and all worked. Waited 3 minutes for Terrapin X to go to sleep, and when I wake it up, it won't reconnect to the Kestrel. I can't...

    338 Caliber Restriction.

    When I was considering a gun/cartridge for ELR, I too wanted to stay 30 caliber or under for a different reason. I landed on 300 Norma Magnum. Assuming by 338 you mean 338 Lapua, the 300 Norma Magnum, 338 Norma Magnum and 338 Lapua Magnum all share the same bolt face. That makes...

    What's your preferred method of bore sighting your scope?

    Exactly! All my shooting buddies run MRAD reticles, and we have spotting scopes with MRAD reticles, we follow the same approach with one exception. The spotter simply calls out the correction and the shooter just dials it in. Amazing how many times we zero in 3 shots using this method...

    Kestrel connection problem with Terrapin X

    When we get the new firmware that hopefully fixes the Bluetooth connectivity, I'll pay more attention and see if this happens to me.

    Kestrel connection problem with Terrapin X

    I don't think this is a real issue. I suspect what you are seeing is either rounding of the distance and/or adjustment of the distance due to inclination angle. If I recall, if you see an asterisk (*) next to the distance in the Kestrel, you are seeing a distance that has been adjusted due...

    Kestrel connection problem with Terrapin X

    I tried doing factory resets on both the Kestrel and the Terrapin X to see if I messed something up. It did not solve the problem for me and I'm pretty sure the problem is not in the Kestrel since it works fine with 2 other LRF's I have with Bluetooth. I think if you could go back to an...

    Looks like you have the exact same problem I have. Thanks for clarifying.

    Kestrel connection problem with Terrapin X

    Did you remember to put the Terrapin X into "Kest" mode? You probably had it in App mode to talk to the smartphone app. My trick to get it to work in the field was to switch the Terrapin from Kest to App, then from App back to Kest and it would connect. So I got very good at switching...

    1 Mile from T&E gun today

    Love it! My 300 Norma Magnum shipped to my FFL today and this just puts a huge smile on my face to see this post. I have that same Berger ammo inbound and I hope it does as well for me as for your friend.

    Autotrickler V3 - CE Products?

    Very helpful observations and tips. I have a second FX-120i that I use without an AutoThrow or Autotrickler and I too noticed it never drifts. I also noticed that when my reloading room humidity is above 45%, I don't have drifting issues. But when I get below 35%, I have to stop and re-zero...

    Kestrel connection problem with Terrapin X

    Alex2x2: Thanks for letting us know. Good to collect who is having issues and who is not. It might be good to also add your Firmware Version for both your devices to your post. Maybe we will spot a pattern. I am speculating that a firmware release sometime after June of 2020 caused the...

    Kestrel connection problem with Terrapin X

    I just e-mailed SAFRAN VECTRONIX customer support to see if there is any update. My last update was November 25, 2020. I also sent a link to this thread in case they want to engage on this forum with other users who have the same issue. I did try the data logging interval tweak and it had no...

    Kestrel link with LRF potential improvement

    Tried this with a Terrapin X that reconnects intermittently and no positive change.

    Kestrel connection problem with Terrapin X

    Sunday I gave up on the Terrapin and connected to my Sig Kilo 3000 and it reconnected quickly. I'm trying the data logging interval tweak now to see if it helps. I'm in communication with Terrapin but they don't have a solution yet.
