Radarscope Pro Subscription

[David Williams]

Hey All,

I was curious about other chasers' experiences with the Radarscope Pro subscriptions. There is a Tier 1 and Tier 2 option. I have just switched over from Pykl3, and I'm playing with functionality, options, etc. Can anyone that has the subscriptions describe what you like and don't like about them, their usefulness, and if they are worth it? Also, if there is a thread about this, please tell me. I did some searching but didn't find anything.

You definitely want Tier 1. Tier 2's value depends if you would use those features.

With Tier 1 and AH it works well with other programs like SN to tie it all together. AH isn't required though just a nice to have.

I thought so. AH was a good match with Pykl3. I assume the same is true with RS.

What is the "shear and hail" they refer to in tier 2?

Shear contours from 30Jul18 chase. While not a substitute for velocity, shear contours can be overlaid in reflectivity to give more info on one screen.

I'm personally a huge fan of RS with Tier 2.

I've had Tier I for a little bit now, and it's a solid performer. Haven't tried Tier II yet.

Although I have let my tier 1 subscription expire, I plan to renew. I find the dual panel (being able to look at 2 products at the same time) very useful (although on a phone a little small). I also used the inspector tool a lot (mainly out of curiosity to see how high wind speeds where). I usually left lighting turned off to declutter the display, but did use it sometimes to help select between two distant targets. I rarely used the extra frames in loop playback, but some folks will want that. I will also note that I consider the yearly tier 1 cost as an investment in future features (sure you get upgrade versions and great support with just the one time payment, but I am happy to contribute yearly).

I have only played with teir 2 on other chaser's devices. I run GR on my laptop when chasing mainly so I can get detailed maps and a bigger screen. I use a lot of free place files for stuff like surface ops and also used Allison House this spring and used some of their shape file contours. So I'm not sure tier 2 would be worth it to me.

Now if RS ever adds detailed mapping, then I would consider tier 2 for sure.

Agree with most, Tier 1 is a no-brainer, Tier 2 for if you’re really all-in and want those features. AH over the top is great too.
