The point of this post is to figure out why RadarScope on the free WDT feed gets high resolution reflectivity and velocity products added to the regular Level 3 data feed, but GR3 with an Allisonhouse subscription can not. I fully understand, I do not want to simply buy GR2A because while chasing I do not want to try and support a FULL Level 2 data feed on cellular during chaser convergence. But somehow, RadarScope and WDT have figured out how to get only 4 tilts of high res Reflectivity and Velocity to their customers, along with the basic Level 3 data. This gives the user the ability to have that data on a limited bandwidth connection. I want that same thing on GR3.
If I use WDT for the data feed on RadarScope, I get high resolution reflectivity and velocity products. If I switch it to my Allisonhouse feed, I lose them.
Question 1:
Is WDT paying the huge yearly fee and getting the special high resolution Level 3 products? OR, are they using the Level 2 data and simply stripping out the 4 lowest scans for velocity and reflectivity and adding that to the typical Level 3 feed? Or are they doing it some other way?
Question 2:
Can Allisonhouse do whatever WDT is doing, and give us these same high resolution products (only the 4 lowest tilts for super res velocity, and 4 lowest tilts for super res reflectivity).
Question 3:
If Allisonhouse won't/can't do it, is WDT interested in selling us a data feed for Gibson Ridge/GR3?
