    The fact that Aeris-10 offers a true phased array system and ±45° elevation/azimuth adjustments are seemingly its differentiating factors. Prices for electronics are exceedingly floaty in these ship-shinking days, but a brief estimate pins the bill of materials at $5,000 for the 10N and $7,200 for the 10E.

    So for $21,600 I could attempt the goal of the main characters in Twisters.

        Yes but not the 5¢ deposit if you are in CT-HI-IA-ME-MA-NY-OR-VT. MI 10¢. CA CRV.

      Strapping you and your almost-ex-wife onto some random pipe in a barn so you can both get sucked up by an F5 tornado?

      I’d say that’s worth it.

        Twisters (the recent sequel starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos) has a new team trying to set up 3 phased array radars 120° from each other to catch an unprecedented surround view of a tornado. It was better than I expected.
