[Xastir] USRadar problems - gm

[Richard Polivka, N6NKO]

I use gm on my little radar maps that I download on BigBox. If I use IM, 
the same process fails after some time.

I have several radar map .geo's installed just in case the primary radar 
site that I use fails. Here is a stretch idea that would take some work 
to implement. You have three radar sites, primary, secondary, and 
tertiary. Primary is always used. When an image is grabbed, an MD5SUM is 
done on the grabbed file. At the next download time, the next file is 
SUMMed and compared to the previous file. If no change is noted in the 
sum's, the secondary site is polled.

73 from 807,
