Skyscan,
I do a lot of stuff like flying, sailing, astronomy and diving. Knowing the immediate weather is important and I’ve had all three portable lightning detectors, the Skyscan, Strike Alert and Thunderbolt. My Skyscan died after about 10 years and I’m in the process of buying another one. For my uses it is the best of the three.
Of the three, the Strike Alert is the cheapest, but the biggest drawback is having to have the unit upright to work which makes the LEDs on top difficult to read unless it is on your belt.
The Skyscan is more bulky when belt clipped and difficult to read if you’re carrying it on you but it can stand upright and be readable from a distance via the LED positions, even in the dark. It does everything the Strike Alert does, and seems to be slightly more accurate.
The Thunderbolt is way more expensive. It does have a range of the advertised 65-70 miles but seems to consider any storms within 20 miles right on top of you. The LED screen is nearly impossible to read (the newer units have backlighting which may help), the shape is very weird and awkward, there is no easy belt clip and needs a bulky base to stand upright. There is no “range” lighting just basically difficult to read scrolling LCD messages. During a storm, you have to sit and watch the unit to read the scrolling messages on strike distance, where with the other two you can see at a glance by the range LEDs.
All three units work, but the Skyscan is the best for my needs.

|Great product,
This is a great product for any use. Its great for camping and outdoor adventures as well as in the home. It detects storms and lighting up to 40 miles away to prepare you well in advance. Strong body,good size, easy to stick in a backpack while hiking and such. Batteries last for a long time. Just an excellent product.

|Initial Thoughts On SkyScan,
This is an initial report on the SkyScan instrument – after unpackaging and initial testing. I’ll post a second follow-up after I have tested this unit against thunderstorms this summer. So far, I am very positive about this lightning detector. It appears to be very well made, and the basic operation is well thought out. It holds two 9-volt batteries. Dimensions are about 16.5 cm x 8cm x 3.5 cm. Weight is probably 1-2 pounds with the batteries. Size is convenient if you have a small backpack, a fanny pack, or a large pocket in your coat. The advertised life when fully operational is 40-50 hours, but you can lengthen this to 70 hours if you use Battery Save mode. You can set the Range Select so that the unit will warn you (audible) about lightning within the following ranges: 0-3 miles, 3-8 miles, 8-20 miles, 20-40 miles. However, the scanner will also give you ranges to all lightning bolts, regardless of where you set the audible alarm signal (ranges again broken down into the preceding 4 categories). Overall, this unit looks very practical and useful. I have not evaluated other lightning detectors from different manufacturers – so I can’t give comparisons about those. This one seems very good, based on price, size, and advertised performance. I plan on using it primarily for storm chasing.
