Ligtning Detectors

[Tim B]

It will be the personal version most likely.

I will be getting one though, I like those things a lot!

Just ordered a Boltek stormtracker from america, worked out at around £350 thats with Lightning 2000 software and Continental maps. Bet it will take along time to get here though.

What causes strike alerts to go off falsely, mine rarely goes off, but just now, its gone off twice, saying a strike within 6 miles occurred, but its beautifully sunny. Its not my PC, the alert is about 7 metres at least away from me and its not done that before now....

ED: Oh and what's the best detector thats cheap around atm? ie. less than £100 really.

ED2: what about this? http://www.ukweathershop.co.uk/acatalog/skyscan_sub.html How does this compare to strike alert?

Skyscan is meant to be very good

I think thunderbolt is a lot better becuse it pick up Ligtning from 75 miles

[Tim B]

Yeah it does at a first glance, and if it arrives as fast as that CD I got from them did then I'll be really happy.

have you had a look at that cd yet what there sent you

[Darren Bown]

Thunderbolt is a wee bit too expensive for me tbh.

Worth the money though, especially if your out on the road :blink:

[Stuart]

yes it may cost a lot of money but it better then Strike Alert

[Darren Bown]

Definately not worth me getting thunderbolt as it would only be worth it for about 5/6 days a year, especially when i cant afford to travel (im a student/graduate you see) and £300+ out of my account would not go down well with my non-meteorological friends who already think I'm a weather freak!

it cost me £430.00

But you have to add on VAT and import charge and deliverly charge

[Paul]

All those things shouldn't hit £200 though Stu.

The Present exchange rate is very good so it should be possible to a good saving.
