I haven't been paying a lot of attention to the news about Radar,
but just tried the three I have that point to Gerry's data and none
of those are working yet.  I know he had some hardware failure on
some of the servers a while back.

Here's the last I saw from Gerry, but I don't know about the
specific Level III mosaics he's talking about:

I did a quick search and found these which might be directly helpful
to you:

I seem to remember somebody making a bunch of .geo's available for
the RIDGE data at some point.  Probably a Google search including
the Xastir list archives would get you that info.  Yes, found it:

I'm going to send this to the Xastir list also in case others are
looking for radar.  Perhaps there will be further responses to the
thread with more options.
