For Level II data, you should open these using the "Level II Radar data" tab under the "Radar Data" tab to open up these files. Opening with the straight File chooser will allow you to provide the appropriate station information. Howeve, I tried this and I didn't get the error message you are showing. What is the name of the file you are trying to open? I would suggest upgrading to the IDV 1.1beta 2 which has better handling of Level II data. You would open it the same way (through the Level II chooser). >Any suggestions? Make sure your firewall is not blocking ports 500 and 503 and try upgrading to the latest (1.1b2) version. That's the version we used in the workshop. Don Murray
