Hello,

Sorry about this. About a month ago NOAAPort stopped distributing the lower 
resolution Reflectivity (1km, product #94) and Velocity (.5km, product #99) and 
replaced them with the higher-resolution Reflectivity (.25km, product #153) and 
Velocity (.25km, product #154). Our code in this case is still looking for the 
lower resolution data.

I've updated this code for our next CAVE release.

In the mean time, as a workaround you can:
File-->New Map
Right Click Hold in the middle of the map, select "Two Panel Layout"
Load any maps you'd like

On the left panel, Right Click Hold and select "Load to this panel" (Note: the 
yellow "L" in the bottom left)
Select Radar-->Nexrad Stations-->kXXX-->kXXX Z (under "Best Res Base 
Product")--> 0.5 Z best res

On the right panel, Right Click Hold and select "Load to this panel" (Note: the 
yellow "L" in the bottom left)
Select Radar-->Nexrad Stations-->kXXX-->kXXX V (under "Best Res Base 
Product")--> 0.5 Z best res

While taking more steps, this should be a valid workaround until we can get an 
updated CAVE build out.

Sorry for the inconvenience. 

Thanks,
