The only caveat is there is a consistent spread from the 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock position that appears in high density areas where there is continual TCAS pinging. It mirrors the inverse position of the transponder antenna to the strike finder. The aberrancy completely goes away with the transponder on standby or in low density traffic areas. I have XM Nexrad, so if there is any serious weather, I turn it to standby with ATC blessing and the slaving picture works great and agrees entirely with the strike history on the nexrad. I tried grounding planes and basically gave up realizing what I was dealing with, particularly with the advent of XM weather.
