I entered the same numbers in my Sporty's E6B and got
PA: 998
DA: 1910


Field Elev : 1165
Pressure Alt: 1000
Temp : 21 C

DSSCalc - DA = 1931
CoPilot 1931
Garmin GPS 1930

If you want me to dig out the software I wrote based on "Flight Theory
for Pilots", it's around here someplace...

Blanche, my flight planning software AirPlan comes up with 1931 as
well...

FWIW - My 13 year old Jeppesen TechStar for PA = 1000 and Temp = 21C also
gives DA of 1931'. Worked just fine on my instrument written.
