Dan,

I take it you're running this on a Tablet.


No, but that's what I'm going to change to. See this same thread in r.a.ifr.

Denny's point about the fuss and muss of portable NEXRAD weather displays is
valid, but it's still early days for the technology. I'm using a Sony
notebook with the Xbrite screen and a USB GPS. This setup works great but is
clunky to handle and has too many cables. I'm going to convert the whole
thing to Bluetooth and use a Fujitsu tablet PC for an MMI--totally wireless.

Do you have an opinion on the practicality of
the PDA solutions for weather?


Yes: they're too small to see or use easily. Perhaps I'm just spoiled by the
much larger, higher resolution screen of my Sony notebook.
