wxmeddler Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 With a major severe outbreak forcasted for tomorrow the common radar feeds are going to extremely stresses. Two main data providers have come forward to fill the gap and provide placefile add-ons, they are MichiganWxSystems and AllisonHouse. I currently pay $6.67 a month for MichiganWxSystem's placefile and lightning feed. I am very happy with it and the service is great! I get summarized lightning data, METARS, HPC/SPC products, RUC Analysis, Specialty place files such as Hurricane Hunter HDOB's and Some states Dept. Of Transportation weather stations. For an extra $4 a month I can add a level 3 data package and for $ 20 a month which is $5 less than Allison House.. Per Allison House's website they offer pretty much the same services plus integration into Radarscope and PYKL3 for mobile devices and are soon to be the data provider for GREarth. A list of their services can be found here. If you subscribe to AH how do you like it, pros/cons, service, placefile diversity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rent Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I went back to Michigan WX from AH, for the place files. I could have just picked up the PF feed, but I didn't want the extra monthly expense. I did like the pykl and radarscope integration, but there's nothing there I could live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
