More Info on the Kestrel 4000 Pocket Weather Tracker

 

The Kestrel® Tracker is the next generation of weather monitoring.  You can

now measure EVERY major environmental condition, easily and accurately,

right in the palm of your hand.  The chart mode allows users to recall and graph

up to 250 measurements, along with the date and time of storage.  Barometric

Pressure, Altitude, Density Altitude, Temperature, Humidity, Wind Speed,

Wind Chill, Dew Point, Wet Bulb, and Heat Index... all in one pocket sized
