Just a quick bit of more info. You do know how it works and that you have to set a known altitude at a certian point to make the QNH change?. so by using the + and - button on the altimeter you set your field altitude and the QNH will change according to that. If the static port is blocked the altimeter will still work but it will give you a false reading and it won't cause the QNH not to change with you using the adjustment function. if the QNH does not move when you set the altitude to your field I think there must be fault with your instrument. Why not mail Rainier at MGL direct. rainier@iafrica.com
