Bought this lapse-rate sounding tower for 8 metres

Nordreth Post 169 is a lapse-rate sounding tower with a platform height of 8 metres. Reviewer says it's a good fit for the job and has the right sound quality for a lapse rate of 8m/s. Would buy the Nordreth again on the same grounds.

Commissioning the Nordreth Post 169

Nordreth Post 169 is the best lapse-rate sounding tower in the world. We tested it out and found it to be a great way to get the sound out of the tower. But the instructions were a bit of a let-down after the first day.

How the Nordreth Post 169 fits what we actually do

The Nordreth Post 169 is a lapse-rate sounding tower kit. It is designed to do awkward jobs that the rest of the kit can't. We put it through its paces to get the best out of the Nordreth's kit. The Nordreth is available in two versions.

Better than what we ran before the Nordreth Post 169

The Nordreth Post 169 was not the cheapest lapse-rate sounding tower we considered. We ran something older in this role before the Nordreth and would not go back. The tower was not a priority to run again, but we would use it again in a pinch.

314 degrees was the requirement

The Nordreth Post 169 is our third lapse-rate sounding tower and the first one specified properly. We had a hard floor on field of view; 314 degrees clears it. The rest of the specification did not play a part in the decision to use the tower .

1 hours was the requirement

Replaced lapse-rate sounding tower with the Nordreth Post 169 last season. Would choose it again on the same grounds. 1-hour session length of the tower was the key to its success.       the shorter the session, the better the quality of the sound.

Where the Nordreth Post 169 falls short

Nordreth Post 169 shipped without the mounting hardware we assumed was included. Reviewed three lapse-rate sounding tower units and the Post 169 was the one we kept. Not the best sounding tower unit we've tested but a good value for money.   £99.
