I like Weather To Go, one, because it is free and two, it uses NOAA for the weather.

Yeah, it may be your link in the radar.txt file. I didn't care much for the radar image it had by default so I just searched around the web and found one and copied the link to radar image put in the radar.txt file (via notepad on my desktop) then copied it into the marsware folder and let it over write the original. The new link will show up in the list next time you open the options in weatherpanel.

What exactly are you getting, does it not show anything at all or can you not find a working radar image? I know you just asked this in another thread so a little more info would help.

It goes to a blue screen and only shows a icon at the top left. Here is screen capture

Ok, I see that you are trying to use the default radar images, which never worked for me either. What you need to do is delete the radar image that you have now. And then click on "Add New". This time Don't select anything from the dropdown box, just fill out the fields below it.
1. Name the city
2. Enter the following url into the URL field

Code:

http://radblast.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_composite?centerlat=31.34585381&centerlon=-85.71878052&radius=120&type=N0R&frame=0&num=5&delay=15&width=230&height=230&newmaps=1&r=1197419781

3. Select the purge time.
4. Update, anytime that you open the weather image you have to update to see it.

you have to use ctrl + c (copy) then crtl + v (paste) on the pop up keyboard. Its too long to send in a text message, what I do is save it into a notepad file and copy it from there.
