Hi Todd,
The problem you reporting is a different one. It looks like the radar
datasets are changing their resolution to be the same as dual pol datasets. I
have the fixed checked in yesterday and still under testing, and it also
require the changes on the server in order to make it working as before. I will
let you know.
