I have a Dakota which is limited to 2400 RPM. I have both an Electronics Intl digital tach as well as a JPI 830. The JPI usually reads about 20 RPM higher than the EI Tach, so I tend to use the EI one as it is the certified unit. Normally on initial climb from Reno (4415') on a cool morning I get about 2360 on the EI tach. Today however, taking off at about 95-100F and DA of about 8000', I only got 2340. Is this normal on a hot day? I think I was correctly leaned, but have not noticed this before.

I wonder if my prop cable to the lever needs a minor adjustment?
