What are some pros and cons of Baron Mobile Threat Net?
-
After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

Brian,
Your question is valid, but may already be covered in previous threads. I did a quick search and found this one. I hope it helps in case you don't get any other answers right away.

Con:
-Mobile Threat net has lower resolution radar, no direct access to base velocity maps.
-I have intermittent connection issues. Sometimes the software looses it connection to the radio, I also once had the maps off centered by ~20 miles. Others may have not had these issues.
Pro:
-Always have reflectivity data (which was nice the other day in NW OK where Verizon sucked) and a proxy for base velocity info using the 'shear' map.

Jeff Piotrowski works for Baron Mobile Threatnet, he would be the one to make an inquiry with, he knows everything there is to know about the service.

As cool a guy as JP might be...I'd bet he wouldn't really take the time. The best advice is to do the search in old threads. There is plenty of reading around the net.
