The Boltek LD-250 Long Range Lightning Detection Kit is a complete, ready-to-run package for live storm tracking at home, in the office, or in a vehicle or boat. Supplied with the LD-250 detector, its direction-finding antenna, a 50ft cable and the display software, it puts a live lightning map on your laptop or desktop and tracks storm activity up to 300 miles (480km) away, plotting each strike within milliseconds. User-set Close Storm and Severe Storm alarms sound on the front panel and your computer, and the Strike Rate Trend Graph shows whether storms are building or dying off.

The Boltek LD-250 Long Range Lightning Detection Kit is a complete package for live, real-time lightning detection, supplied with the LD-250 detector, its direction-finding antenna, a 50ft antenna cable and the display software – everything you need to get up and running. There are no online or recurring charges of any kind.
The LD-250 detector puts a live lightning map on your computer. Within milliseconds of a strike the detector beeps and your computer displays the strike location; the direction-finding antenna measures strike direction while the receiver estimates distance from signal strength, with advanced software signal processing for improved accuracy. It warns of both close and severe thunderstorms via user-set alarms shown on the front panel and on screen, plots Close and Total Strikes per minute on the Strike Rate Trend Graph, and detects lightning even when your computer is off. It connects via USB or RS232 (COM) port.
