Greetings Garrett,

Good news - you can access 1km n0r data directly from the IDV via the 
adde.ucar.edu server. Simply do the following:

1) From the dashboard, select Data Choosers.

2) Select "Sat & Radar" -> "Images" in the box on the left side of the window.

3) Use adde.ucar.edu as the "Server"

4) Use the drop-down box to select "NEXRCOMP" as the "Dataset; and click 
"Connect"

5) After you connect, select "1 km N0R US Base Refectivity Composite" as the
"Image Type"

6) Select your times, and adjust the "Image Size" as needed.

7) Enjoy!

Note that this imagery can be quite large.

Cheers,

Sean
