Thanks Nisgeis. That makes sense. I'll have to play with it some more.
I'm still hoping Gino can get a good scan of the tool so I can use better images for my virtual version which, hopefully, will make the graduations much clearer and therefore more accurate. As I mentioned, I use it on the desktop and just 'pause' and alt-tab out use it then alt-tab back to the game. It works fine that way. I'm still in learning mode and using the game to verify what the omnimeter is showing me and vice versa.

Can you confirm whether the mast height in question is from the water surface or from the main deck to the top of the mast. It appears at first blush that the scope telemeter graduations (at least on high power) are more accurate if the height is taken from the main deck. Does that make sense?
