I don't like Skytracker. I liked the classic radar maps they used in 2000-2002
I agree. The old radar was better.

As much as I miss it, they aren't coming back. Most if not all other stations use skytracker radars too. Plus, I doubt their old radars are HD capable.

You're exactly right. Fixed-radars aren't used nowadays. Most up-to-date stations use some type of live controllable-radar (Titan, etc).

Not a chance.
