This doesn't sound like its going to be an easy issue to solve.
I found that its my strobes that set off the strike finder. After I chatted with L3, I got the following email:
There are a few things that can be accomplished to help reduce
or eliminate the false strikes. First of all, make sure there is proper
separation between the Stormscope wiring and the strobe light wiring. In
addition,
the shielding and grounding for the strobe lights should be nowhere near
the
Stormscope antenna or antenna cable. I would recommend using separate
ground
points for the Stormscope and strobe lights. Also, make sure everything
is
properly grounded and shielded. Is the wiring for the strobe lights
shielded?
If not, then you might want to consider using shielded wires. Also, make
sure
the Stormscope antenna cable is properly shielded and terminated.
If after determining that everything is shielded, properly
grounded, and good separation, then you may have to consider relocating
the Stormscope
antenna. However, I think with some creativity and trial and error, you
should
be able to reduce the amount of false lightning strikes.
