[IDV #TAF-624454]: Real-Time Radar Data

Devon,

The properties dialog we are talking about is in the Dashboard, Field Selector 
Tab. Right click on the radar data source and select properties menu option. 
That should hopefully get you oriented.

Please keep us up-to-date on your progress.

Best Wishes,

Unidata IDV Support
