I've got a Kestrel 4000NV and want to make sure I've got everything set up properly.

It's not clear to me if I'm supposed to set the reference altitude to a known altitude for some location, or set it to 0. My altitude, according to Google Maps is 181 feet. So I set the reference altitude to 181.

But I came across some internet forums that stated in order to get an accurate DA reading, reference altitude should be set to 0 since DA is based on station pressure. I guess if you don't set reference altitude to 0, it throws off the station pressure reading?

Google Maps indicates the altitude for Angeles Shooting Range is 1650 feet. Am I supposed to always reset the reference altitude to a known value for the location I am shooting at before getting a reliable DA reading?

I'm confused! Can someone set me straight?

Thanks!

This is what the altitude screen looks like when I set the reference pressure to 29.92


And this is what the baro screen looks like when i set the reference altitude to 0
