Skyscan by Terri L. Welisek  5 Stars
May 31, 2009
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.

I LOOOOOOOOOVE IT 5 Stars
March 24, 2005
I ordered this item for pleasure (I love weather). It's kind of pricy, but I tested it on a storm the day I got it and I was very impressed!!! It shows you how far away the lightning strike is!!!!!! I think it's worth the price. If you're a big weather entusiast, I highly recomend this product!
