Larry Scott posted under "Atmospheric corrections" about using "phone app.". Since I don't have any type of phone
other than a land line I did an Internet search. Very Interesting. The iPhone 6 has a very good Barometer in it and also the
Kestrel 4500. Go to www.extremestorms.com_6_barometer.htm

Click on: iPhone 6 plus barometer accuracy checks-Extreme Storms

Thanks Larry for pointing me in the right direction.

Many phones have hidden talents, like my S5

I'm just glad that SI units hPa is basically mB renamed.

I had checked my iPhone pretty thoroughly, but it's good to see it against cal'd equipment in a lab. And it's not cell/wifi dependent.
