Ryan Stormscope 7A

[Jim Rainer]

I had one of these one time in a normallay aspirated '73 Skymaster. It's rudimentary but when it lights up and starts blinking - especially right in front of you - there's definitely something there! I used it for 4-5 years without ever feeling the need for anything more elaborate. I later bot a '76 w/o any sferics and bought a Strikefinder 4 years ago and it has been very satisfactory.

I do not have the palm pilot nexrad uplink stuff but you might consider buying the 7A and getting ther nexrad capability before spending a lot on a stormscope or strikefinder. Anything over $1000 for the 7A (including installation) should be applied toward a Strikefinder in my opinion.
