The Barometer and Altimeter will only track correctly in the short term. That is,
if you calibrate the Barometer and altitude at the beginning of a day hike, the
altitude will be correctly measured during your hike. But if the radio is not used
for several weeks, you will need to check the altitude correction again, because pressure
changes associated with changing weather may be mis-interpreted as a change in altitude.
