CBAV - anyone having problems displaying Nexrad?

"Ryan Ferguson"
I'm sure TurboWX may be 'awesome' but it lacks the key feature that
CBAV
delivers, i.e. inflight NEXRAD.

Hmm? It delivers better quality, younger NEXRAD images than CBAV.
In-flight, if you're using Palm.net.

So you are saying my Palm VII using Palmnet can get the TurboWX service? I
swear I read the site and did not see that it did. Will recheck.

Thanks.

Got to say that the 15 to 30 to 45 min delay on CBAV has been less of an
issue (as in 'no issue') than I ever thought it would be. I don't know if
its true but it seems that the image tends towards 15 minutes old when there
is activity. And goes over 30mins when it is calm.

Better resolution would be very welcome though.

That's correct. When I was subscribing last year, I was using it getting
the Nexrad with my Palm VII. There was one issue with the rendering that I
corresponded with TurboWX about, and they were quite responsive. I ended up
cancelling eventually, because CBAV was sufficient and I believe has a
slightly better rendering in B&W. But I may reconsider if CBAV stays down
much longer.

It generally wasn't an issue for me either, but there have been times
when TurboWx's much younger weather updates allowed me to find a hole.

TurboWX has better resolution and you don't have to cycle through Mode
1-6 like you would with CBAV.
