I have never picked up "static" to my knowledge.
By "static", I mean a collection of "hits" spaced relatively far apart.
That is, a dot here, a dot there, a dot somewhere else, with perhaps 10 or
20 total in a fairly wide area.
Well, maybe I have and just didn't recognize it as such. What I look for (in
order) a
1. How close to my airplane is the activity?
2. How fast are the stikes occurring?
(sometimes I clear it, and watch it from a clear screen just to see how fast
the orange dots are appearing)
3. Is it in my flight path?
What I do next depends on what these 3 items are telling me.
