Hi bobr, Sorry, but currently you cannot save a NEXRAD Level II image as an Area file. I wrote up this request as McV inquiry 2374 . FYI, you can save an image loaded via the Satellite>Imagery chooser or Level III radar file loaded via the Radar>Level III chooser as an Area file by right-clicking th...

Hi, I received the following answer from another help desk member (bobc). As for a template for creating these airmass RGB displays, you can install the Miscellaneous>RGB-Eumetsat plugin. This plugin was provided to us by a user from EUMETSAT. To add the plugin, go to the Plugin Manager ( Tools>Plug...
