I know that earlier I mentioned being an altimetry pedant.....so, airbubba...QNE isnt the standard pressure setting, as you seem to imply. Rather, it is the altitude of the runway that would be read on the altimeter if standard were set....and is used if the pressure was either too low or too high to set on the altimeter.
