Experience with Lightning/2000

[Chip Redmond]

I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with the Lightning/2000 program. I have been playing with the program we have here at Ohio University and have overtaken maintaining it. I have tweaked the range scaling to make it more accurate and have gotten it much better than it used to be. However it will still project flashes off about a hundred miles to close. Sometimes it will be right on, usually with a larger cluster of storms but not every time. The range scaling is divided up into four sectors formed by me after determining the way the detector picks up flashes in storm scenerios. I have also changed the angular influence to 11 degrees and the time influence to five minutes. I was wondering if there was anyone else who has accurately been able to portray the flashes onto the map. If anyone at all has any insight I would gladly appreciate it!

We use the Boltek lightning detector if that helps anyone.
Has anyone had experiences with other lightning detection running programs?
