Hi Joe,

Evidently, it is considered somewhat experimental for the time being (until 
Aug-Sept 2012?). Which means it will be up and down until the end of the 
experimental time period. I don't think we'll add it to the composite until it 
is more stable. (I also notice it isn't in any of the other radar composites we 
serve.)

Also, another issue is the name of the new tilt angle. On other radars, the 
zero tilt angle (as in the N0R product) has a 0.5 degree tilt. With this radar, 
the zero tilt angle is the new 0.0 deg tilt. So, there will have to be some 
alignment of the various product IDs.

Hope that helps,

Ethan
