Noise
Noise signals can be either a signal that did not appear to be lightning, or a signal for which the
LD-350 could not determine a distance or direction.
Operation noise can come from noisy overhead power lines, or noisy electronic devices.
Receiver Range
LD-350 has a range of about three hundred miles. Occasionally, strong storms farther than 300
miles away may be detected.
The receiver’s maximum range will be affected by antenna height. While you can receive storms
with the antenna at virtually any height, you will have maximum range with antenna mounted at
least 25 feet above ground.
Other factors that could affect range are metal objects located near the antenna. Metal objects
can block the radio waves from getting to the antenna, reducing the range. A large steel shed or
other metal object nearby could block lightning signals, resulting in reduced range in that
direction. Try to mount the antenna as far as possible from large metal objects, preferably
above the object.
