I heard that stormscope and other spherics systems work kind of like a souped up adf receiver with some fourier transform logic to pin point better----but the conservatism required with stormscope is higher than with wxr.


the old advantage [no longer really applies] was that it could be used on the ground to get a panoramic view of cell locations [ and lightning goes with TS's all the time] as opposed to heavy rain...the best for GA/corporate is to have both
