Did you have your avionics shop = “skin map” your aircraft to determine the best antenna = location?

Hello all,

I just got off the phone with L3.  We have a Wx500 stormscope that displays on the Garmin 430.  However, there are all kinds of false = strikes and eventually the strike rate gets up so high that the system fails.   The gentleman at L3 said that they've had some issues = with composite aircraft and lancairs and thought that it may never work = 100%.  Our unit is located in the tail (both the CPU and the antenna).  He suggested that I start pulling breakers until the strikes stop and that = could find the issue.... but then he said that since this is a known issue, = that I might just be chasing my own tail.  So I'm wondering if anyone here = has any issues with their strikefinders?
