Matt,
The details of the IDV method for Level III Z-R computations are online

I think this should work for Level II data in the IDV displays. The IDV
should automatically take care of the difference - the Level III data is
a raster image and the Level II data is in radar range-az-elevation
coordinates, as you can see by zooming in on a display.
Let me know if this works for level II, will you?
Our next IDV release will have new Level II displays that may interest
you.
