Does Level2RadarDataSource ever get used? Level2RadarDataSource is old version of CDMRadarDataSource. It has not been used for a long time. > > Also when you use the CDMRadarDataSource, it then goes into the ncIdv.jar, > and ends up in ucar.nc2.NetcdfFile eventually. Could you tell me what > version of nc2 Netcdf library that is in the ncIdv.jar? I'm trying to > attach latest source to it but it seems to misalign. ncIdv is subset of nc2 library. In the IDV help menu, you can see the version. > > Thanks, > Vinh > > Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: MKB-943283 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Closed =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
