• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I've been considering buying a Kestrel 5400 Heat Stress meter, and I have some questions about their Bluetooth connectivity program LiNK. I don't see details on the Kestrel website - I would really like to be able to see the weather data on my portable computing device, but the only app that I see is for the ballistic version of the Kestrel.
Anyone have experience with using LiNK for remote reading of the 5400?

Yes. Got the same model about a month ago (really interested in tracking WBGT). I have not done too much with it, but, I did set it up and play with it a few times.

So, what's the link to a smart device like? Is it only ballistics, or does it give general weather and other info remotely?
 
Here's a sample set of screenshots (hope they display ok). You can also choose a sampling of 2 or three parameters (sorta like the screen on the device)
