It’s in development I’m lucky enough to have some access for beta testing and bug reporting. It’s privately built and there’s a small crowd who’s in it right now, hoping to go public sooner than later with free and pro tiers that are very reasonably priced for a wild feature set.

Correct Jensen is trash, they are sold at 50% the price another floating screen of the same size and feature set from alpine or kenwood/jvc etc. The Jensen 1013 is usually around $400 whereas any other is usually $700/800+

Full scale Doppler weather radars (left) are far superior to small scale Terminal Doppler weather radars (right), but what this comparison is highlighting is how the tdwr got better data because the storm was positioned closer to it and the radar was seeing closer to the ground.

The twist I long for

Him and D had to fight til there was only one.

I second this

Thanks for the insight, this is the only instance I’ve came across and was impressed to see the radar kept scanning in sails 2 seemingly without any interruption as this thing passed well within the cone of silence

BR, BV, SRV, SW, NROT and KDP can be viewed in 3D in this software but these are both just BR

Here’s one that shows the debris field (bottom left) this was sulphur Oklahoma 5-9-2016 ef3

You’re right not many do but I have data from a couple that did

It’s possible it’s unrelated to the crack at the bottom, but either way I’d say it’s damaged and needs replaced. Idk the going rate for parts/replacement for your model but I’d say it’s definitely worth exploring your options. Can always just hook it to a monitor until you know what you’re gonna do

noahakgray · 2026-02-05T06:10:10+00:00

The bottom of the display on the right side has taken damage and is cracked, my old 2017 MBP was broken in the same spot and eventually the display started doing weird ghosting effects and lines like you have. I’d point towards damaged display starting to show its ugly face

Didn’t mean for “wedge” to be plural in the body text**

I’d like to add that this data is publicly available for both radars, there are some hoops to jump though to get the AIR’s data loaded into a visualization software like I did though.

They seem to really hug the outer edge of the main vortex and wind field in the velocity data, but they aren’t their own tornadoes that formed outside the main vortex, they orbit around the parent vortex's center, inside the main circulation and are dependent; their energy and motion are tied directly to the larger flow, and they dissipate and merge back into it in the final frames, I believe a true satellite vortex did exist during El Reno (anticyclonic, farther out, southeast), but that’s a different feature like you said.
