Hi John,
Looks like the next bunch of radar products won't be available until
April. And, I don't know if that includes what I call the "3rd set" of
products or not...
I tried to identify the web page to which Mike is referring. But,
starting from http://www.nws.noaa.gov/noaaport/html/noaaport.shtml and
searching through "What's New", I could not find anything that referred
to a date.

Linda,
I expect most additional products to be available by mid April but the
User
Selectable Precipitation and Digital Hybrid Reflectivity will not be
available
until the open RPG is implemented and the LAN connection between the RPG
and
AWIPS is established.
We are in the process of updating our web page to reflect these changes.
Regards
Mike
