Swaro EL Range TA terrible optically

[SDHNTR]

Any have an issue not being able to get these clear in low light? Mine are absolutely terrible. In even slightly low light, I cannot get a focused image to save my life. It’s just blurry and distorted. I’ve re set the diopters several times. I know I shouldn’t expect the usual EL clarity and crispness I’m used to, but this is really bad. I own SLC’s too, and they are also WAY better. Is this just me or did I get a dud unit? These are about to go back to Swaro.

Sell them to me for a loss


Jk (not really though). I have not had this issue the few times messing with them

I would send them in to Swaro, the ones I had were optically right on the heals of the EL SV's, quite nice.

-Cover both barrels.
-hold down the menu button until the menu comes up
-adjust the right diopter until the display is crisp and focused.
-exit the menu
-find an object 20 ft away
-uncover the right barrel and focus on that object 20 ft away using the focus dial until it's crisp and focused
-cover the right barrel and expose the left barrel.
-focus on that same object 20 ft away using the left diopter until it's crisp and focused

If you do that and it's still not giving you a good image, send them in.

Hmm, i don’t have them handy but I think that’s a bit different than the diopter adjustment instructions from Swaro.

Mine aren't nearly as nice as my NL pures, which is expected, but they are still great. I did have to send mine in for repair for the RF last year, even with a fresh battery they stopped ranging past 500 yards. Sounds like you might need to send yours in

This is the way I focus mine too. I have EL’s and NL’s as well and my EL TA’s give up nothing optically to either of them.

Ok, that makes me feel better. Thanks guys.
