Just an FYI you will not be able to use FxCAVE and connect to an EDEX installed 
via Unidata's RPM's. You have to use a compatible Unidata CAVE (which we have 
available on Mac, Windows, Virtual Machine, or CentOS7/Redhat7).

Unidata distributes data via LDM. Everything that is on NOAAPort that NWS 
offices get is available in Unidata's AWIPS. That includes model (GFS, RAP, 
NAM, HRRR), full MRMS suite, surface obs, GOES satellite (single channel, 
derived products, GLM), radar (lowest 4 tilts), soundings, watches/warnings, 
outlooks, etc.

I'm a little bit confused what you mean by "just got MRMS data with the latest 
update". Are you connecting to one of GSL's EDEX servers? Unidata's AWIPS has 
the full suite of MRMS products available as well.

>Let me know what you think and I can provide more information to you guys.
