[IDV #QLH-693860]: questions on radar data and IDV

Hi Wilfredo-

Depending on the Level III product, you should be able to read
it directly into the IDV.  I would suggest using version 2.4 or
later so you make sure you have the latest updates.  For the
Level III files, we read the raster and radial products.

If the ORPG software outputs Level III products, then you can just
save them on disk and read them into the IDV through the file chooser.

adde.ucar.edu is an ADDE server for the Level III data.  You could
download the OpenADDE code from 

http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/software/openadde/

For Level II data, we are in the process of developing an experimental
interface through the Unidata THREDDS Data Server (TDS), but this
has not been released yet.  There is no ADDE interface for Level II
data at this point.

> 4.Can I configure IDV to use a proxy?

This is not in the documentation, but here is a link to a previous
question on this:

your English is fine.  Much better than my Spanish. ;-)
