WX-500 Stormscope configuration is reported by the WX-500 through RS-232 data.

the installation. See the configuration information in
the WX-500 Installation Manual to determine the
correct configuration.
When a GTN is interfaced with a WX-500

formats may be used. If another heading format is
used, lightning strike information is visible on the
Weather Page, but not the Map Page.
