Bad, did not work. We then had the skin mapped and put in a 3'x3'copper mesh as a grounding plane. It has been great ever since. =20 And it is more than useful. Just last week in the Chicago area it was telling me I should be on the ground now! It was right and I did. Nexrad (from 45 minutes earlier) and the controller were not painting what was going on. Even Nexrad from 6-10 minutes earlier would not have been adequate. Sunday on the way west from Minneapolis area, the stormscope kept me safely out of harms way with a reassurance that I was doing the right thing. I do want to add Nexrad into the cockpit and will be looking at OSH next month. Carl Cadwell, IVP, N25CL
