My altimeter wasn't working right today. It said 600' when my brothers said 2600'. I know the guage is on feet and miles, not meters and kilometers. And my doo altimeter said 2400' at that spot last year.

My altimeter started flashing last day in Revy two weeks ago but was consistent with other sleds in group for actual elevation, anyone have this issue yet?

Mine did that tonight. I rinsed it off with a garden hose to wash dirt off it Maybe got to much on some of the electrical
Gonna let it sit for a few days and take some connections apart and dry them out

Some days it doesn't pay to keep stuff clean I guess

There is a calibration feature, not sure if its specific to the sno pro's or all other models, check the manual.

my 2011 HCR shows 11000' and is stuck there, I live at 2500'. I have no issue with the reading as long as it doesn't affect the fuel mixture or performance?

They're all barometric, and they all have a breather tube somewhere. Probably plugged. Need to be aware that they change with barometric pressure too, ie: weather.
