If your Kestrel is marked LiNK on the bottom front label,
it can be connected wirelessly to other LiNK-compatible
devices. LiNK is powered by
Bluetooth
Smart®, also known
as
Bluetooth
® LE, which is available in most iOS devices
released after 2014 and Android devices released after
2015, as well as in a USB Dongle available from Kestrel that
supports connectivity to Windows and Mac OS devices.
LiNK-enabled Kestrel units can connect to mobile devices
running Kestrel LiNK Ballistics allowing you to view your
targeting solutions remotely, build and manage gun
profiles, access the Applied Ballistics custom drag models
and install firmware updates. LiNK-enabled units can can
be run wirelessly to computers using the Kestrel Dongle.
On Windows PC’s use the Applied Ballistics Profile Loader
to create and install gun profiles and access the Applied
Ballistics custom drag model library. (Applied Ballistics
custom drag models can only be used in Elite model
Kestrel meters.)
