Updating firmware on Kestrel 5700

[Jake the dog]

I haven't been able to find an answer for this. Does the 5700 with Link (not Elite ) need either the cable or dongle to update firmware? Or can it be updated thru a computer with Bluetooth, or a phone? I'm seriously considering ordering one, and will order the dongle if it is needed.

Thanks, i've learned a lot here.

The Kestrel 5700 with Link updates through the free Kestrel Ballistic App running on your Android or iPhone cell phone or an Android tablet or iPad. Get the app in the app store and it will link using Bluetooth LE to the Kestrel. You also use the app to create gun profiles and download to the Kestrel. This is the process for the Elite, 5700, 5700 Hornady and the 5700 Ruger and soon the 2700.
