Hi Bongchul,

As far as I can tell, there are no issues with our receipt or relay of
NEXRAD2 products, but this is not a guarantee that all data are actually
available - they may have not been sent by the originating site, etc.

re:
> If you detect any issue with the feed, please let me know.

You can check the status of the various NEXRAD 2 radars at:

http://radar2pub.ncep.noaa.gov/

A quick check of this site shows that the central region radars KPAH and KTWX
are down, and products from KILX are "slow".

re:
> Thank you for your help.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
