SHM,

The IDV supports a variety of radar data formats -- NEXRAD Level II, Level III, 
TDWR, Universal Format (UF), DORADE, CINRAD. You may have to convert your 
RAWFP8K file into one of those formats in order to view your data in the IDV. 
For more information, please see 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/data/DataSources.html. 
There is a section in there about radar data formats that the IDV can handle.

Best Wishes,

Unidata IDV Support
