• 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.

Old Kestrel vs. New Kestrel

I just got my Kestrel 3000 in the mail today...and older one...that I won in an ebay auction.

I only paid $55 for it....and it seems to work as it should so far. But of course I find myself wondering if I should've spent the extra $$ to to get a newer unused one.


Has anyone upgraded from the old to the new make of any Kestrel? Thanks for your input.

I have been using a Kestrel 3000 since they were first available and see no need to upgrade. the newer units have some neat features but it is like a lot of the stovepipes on top of some chaser vehicles... Do you really need them?

If yours is fully operational and in good condition cosmetically, I will take it off of your hands for your cost. I won't have to move mine from one vehicle to another that way...
 
Thanks for you're input...you make an excellent point. I guess I'm just thinking crookedly since I have such a bad cold...lol.

Are the impellers that are being sold now compatible with the older style Kestrel like I have? I would think so..but I'm not sure.
So yea...I'm probably going to hold on to it.


On the flip side....would you pay $60 for it? ;)

Would you take $40 for it?:cool:

I can not write with authority on the impellers, but I expect they will fit all models with the same number. I have not replaced mine yet. Might be a good time to order...
 
I sold and shipped it.

Made $20.

Now I'm not sure if I want a new Kestrel or a Handheld Inspeed Vortex.....is the Inspeed better for measuring wind??
 
Bump: New Kestrel 3000 for ~$100 or Inspeed for ~$50.

You make the call...
