Q: What is the difference between StormTracker and the LD-250 Lightning Detector?
Both StormTracker and the LD-250 are magnetic direction-finding lightning detectors. They both work the same way to detect lightning and display it on your computer screen. The display software is almost identical. StormTracker is an internal card that requires a desktop computer with a free PCI card slot. The LD-250 is an external unit that connects to your computer's RS232 COM or USB port, so it can be used with either a laptop or desktop computer. StormTracker & the LD-250 work with all versions of Microsoft Windows. Only the LD-250 can be used in transit and at mobile locations.
