Rhett,

You don't mention any particular software package.

In Gempak you can overlay RCM data on satellite:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/examples/gprcm/index.html

In order to overlay data, you must be able to display the data in the same 
projection. You can't do this with PROJ=sat and PROJ=rad for satellite and NIDS
data in gempak because they are 2 different projections.
