Hello Tom,
Hi Tom, I once almost bought a KBV but the price in the end leaned me back.
How good is it for use with a sextant?
I wanted it to record the time of the sight automatically, and gain precision for time.
Regards

If you find the paper I also would be interested. I use a KVH datascope on my sextant. It gives time, and azimuth (+/- 0.5 degrees). I have been using the summer / Azimuth line as a first approx for a few years. It keep me from making Big mistakes... I still seem capable of the other types mistakes however.Tom Sult
