Kestrel 5700 Elite AB issue

[Mastrolindo]

Hi guys! I´m a lucky owner of the Kestrel 5700 Elite with AB ( without link) and have a little problem and i hope someone from you can help me. I bought the Kestrel with the firmaware 1.15 and i would like to save my gun profils to my pc. I downlaod the AB-Loader from the AB-Homepage, connest my cabel and start the loader. The buttom at the right top corner is green and i klick the "get Profiles from Kestrel " button. A windows opens and tells me 6 profiles receiving but nothing happens. I tried it on 4 PC with Win7 with the same result. The Kestrel Link software works great. I can download the Log data. After a few days without a successful result i make the upadte to 1.24 and I hoped the problem would be solved. Now my Kestrel has the firmware 1.24 and i have a second problem.

First, the AB loader still does not work and the second problem is, i have no Easy mode. I can swith between Weather and Ballistic and the easy mode is missing.

Has anybody an idea what can be the problem?

Thanks in advanced,..
Peter

Try changing out the battery.

Thanks for your answer. I put out the Batterie for 5 minutes, no changes.

Are you European or US based?
Are the names of your profiles compliant with Windows File Name rules (no special characters except for . )?
Easy mode is only available in Link model Kestrels, not in the non-Link models.

Thanks for the info with the Easy mode. I´m from Europe. There are no spezial characters in the Name of my profile ( .338LM, .308,...).

Since you are in Europe check this setting in Windows Control Panel->Region (or Regional and Language Options)->Additional Settings
Change the Decimal Symbol from a comma (,) to a period (.) and click Apply.

You would need to reopen the program and now transferring gun profiles should work.

See if that might be the problem.
