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

Subject: [LML] Issues with
Stormscope / Strikefinder on IV-P -- electrical interference (wx500)
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?
