Wayne,

Yes.  I now have a much better idea of what your setup is.  Since you
are feeding from snow, you may not have to choke down your request for
NEXRAD images IF snow is not getting all of them.

OK.

OK, thanks for the update.

re: load in 7.705
>version 7.704 doesn't have this capability?  :-(

It does, but the 7.705 addendum has updated Fkey and MCGUI interfaces
along with a lot of bug fixes and additions (over 150 modules were
changed/updated in 7.705).  The 7.705 addendum may well be the last
update to 7.7 before the 7.8 release becomes available in early
August.
