For Level II files there is no station information in the
file. 

She should be sure to use the Level II Radar
Chooser (works for both Level II and III) and select the
station instead of using the "I'm Feeling Lucky".  If she
puts the files in a directory that has the same name
as the station id (e.g. "KMHX"), it should automatically
pick up the station name.

Alternatively, if the data gets loaded in without station
information, it is located at lat/lon 0,0.  You can double
click on the Datasource name to bring up the properties 
editor.  There is a widget there that allows you to change
the station location.
