I made some changes in the IDV which allows users to add the local radar 
station table easier. To do so, please installed a nightly release, and you 
don't need to make any changes in the idv.jar. All you needed is to add a 
userstations.xml in the .unidata/idv/Default directory. And the attached is a 
sample of this xml file.

However, you still need to change the station in the property window after you 
load the data as described in my previous email.
