Hi Greg-

I thought I sent a response yesterday, but for
some reason, my response to this did not get sent out.
Probably user error on my end. ;-)  I've recreated below.

As Yuan noted, we had a problem with the server, but has been
fixed with a server restart yesterday.  Thanks for letting us know.

In the future, please note that there is an alternative server at
the National Science Foundation:

http://thredds.cise-nsf.gov:8080/thredds/radarServer/nexrad/level2/catalog.xml

it's closer to you, (physically, at least) so might work better.
Use either one. 

> 2.6a2 windows XP.

and 2.6a3. ;-)

FYI, the latest nightly build has a new version of the NEXRAD
remote chooser that allows you to select Level III data as well.
The top level catalog for the chooser is:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/radarServer/catalog.xml

for now, only motherlode has the necessary server code for this
to work correctly, but eventually  the thredds.cise-nsf.gov
server will work for the Level III as well.  This will allow
you to cross day boundaries and is faster than the ADDE server.
Feedback is appreciated as always.
