Hi Mike, re: slight change to internal calibration code that gets rid of black pixels implemented on lead.unidata.ucar.edu. > Confirmed, black pixels are gone. Thanks for confirming this. I did a number of IMGDISPs and didn't see the problem, so I figured it was fixed, but your checking helps bolster confidence :-) re: expect an update with code fixes in the next few days > Excellent! The next couple of weeks I'm bouncing between a number of > projects, so I might not be lightning fast to test and reply when the > update is available. Rest assured however, still just as excited. No worries. We are all really busy! re: > Side note: As I've been playing in the GUI a bit I had a chance to get > some details on an issue we noticed a while ago.

For instance, I ran the test in my McIDAS-X session that has 40 frames sized 915 x 1235, and the map displays as it should. Your frame is probably a lot smaller, true? Exactly why this is true is unknown to me at the moment.
