Boltek Lightning Detectors
Boltek Lightning Detectors works by detecting the radio signals produced by lightning. These are the same signals you can hear on an AM radio during a thunderstorm. The direction-finding antenna provides direction information while storm distance is calculated from received signal strength. Special processing in software reduces the effects of strike-to-strike energy variations providing more accurate distance information.
