The WX-950 Stormscope is clear step up from the WX-900 in the Series II family. The WX-950 boasts a number of improvements, including:

Display - 
The WX-950 has the familiar, high resolution green CRT, instead of an LCD display. The WX-950 may also be configured to concentrate both the display and processing power on the forward 120° of airspace.

Software modes -
The WX-950 includes newer, very advanced lightning detection software. When set to Strike mode, the WX-950 will plot each discharge separately, like every other Stormscope. The new Cell mode is used to help better define the storm cells as areas to avoid.

Heading Stabilization - 
When provided with an external heading source, such as a King KCS-55/55A system, the WX-950 will keep the display oriented to the current aircraft heading during turns. This is a great feature to reduce pilot workload and improve situational awareness. Using a gyro-stabilized display is most helpful when maneuvering during departure and approach, when the pilot is busiest.

Greater range - 
The WX-950 is capable of detecting and displaying discharges out to 200 nm. This give the pilot plenty of time to develop a thunderstorm avoidance strategy.

The WX-950 Stormscope features:
    • Choice of display ranges: 25, 50, 100, and 200 nm
    • Selectable Strike and Cell modes
    • Automatic heading stabilization, with proper input
    • Stores lightning data in all ranges simultaneously, making it easy and useful to toggle between them
    • 360° view of surrounding area, or 120° view of forward airspace
    • Clear function to help determine storm intensity and movement
    • High resolution 3 inch CRT display
    • Self-test function
