Yes, that's what I do  with USRadar.geo.  Place tigermap.geo at a low 
level, say 10, and the radar at a higher level, say 50.
   If you're using the kubuntu repository version of xastir, you'll have to 
edit the radar .geo file to set the transparent falue to black instead of 
white, or you won't see the tiger map underneath it.  That seems to be 
fixed in the latest stable tarball.
