What in your experience is the best source for reliable data

[Stephen Levine]

I am aware of at least two software/hardware/laptop hook ups such as WXworks as well as a Garmin GPS/XM satellite machine that accesses everything except SPC and NWS discussions.

Perhaps there are additional great reliable data sources out there as well that I don't have awareness of.

What in your experience is the very best and most cost-effective source of data that you are utilizing at present?

WeatherTAP at $7/mo. is my best (cheeep) single source of current radar and satellite that auto-updates on the desktop.

With Grlevel3, and all the place file you can get most of everything you need...for the most part free...other than the up front cost of Grlevel3. Also http://www.allisonhouse.com/ has a plan for $40 a year ($3.33 a month) that gives you a better feed than the NWS plus some exrta goodies.
