Hi Samuel- This is Don. > adde.ucar.edu, and shu.cup.edu This is a bug in the mcidas2008 code. adde.ucar.edu has been fixed and the fix will be in the next McIDAS addendum. If you want to update your local system, you can send a note to support-mcidas to get the change and rebuild. Alternatively, you can use the NEXRAD-Remote chooser (access from TDS) which works for either abosolute or relative times.
