Frank,
    If you are running the current release, 4.1, there is a new advanced 
feature: "Time Matching", is basically designed for this.
In the radar NEXRAD chooser, you select one radar station, and times (better in 
relative for the bundle purpose), and "Add Source". In the Field Selector 
panel, select the variable, and display, but, in the Times subset panel, click 
on the drop down menu and select "Set as Time Driver", then, click on "Create 
Display". 
     Now, go back to the Radar Chooser, select the next radar station, but, 
only check the "Match Time Driver" checkbox, and then repeat the same 
procedure, select variable and display, and create display. 
     In the end, the times from different radar stations should be synchronized.

Let me know if you have any further question.
