Sorry, Dave, to chime in. In my experience, at least with Metop AVHRRfrom CLASS, the local ADDE server does not need an entire path. I amalways downloading all bands - not sure whether this is significant..

Hi Mark,
McIDAS-V [which is based on the IDV] is able to read AVHRR Level 1bfiles using local ADDE servers.There are some caveats:
a) The file must contain all bands.
b) The file from CLASS must contain the entire pass. Do not subset.
c) At this time, McIDAS-V will only read data from the KLM series ofNOAA satellites and Metop. This will be updated in the future to useany of the NOAA polar satellites.
If you want more info, let me know.

You can find the software here:

Also, there is a tutorial on the documentation page on "PolarSatellite Imagery".
