What is your favorite Reflectivity color table and why?
« on: July 28, 2009, 02:41:45 PM »
Hi all,
   I am just wondering what your favorite reflectivity color table  is and why you like it.
I am not just being nosy :roll:.  I am still trying to decide on my favorite and I am always switching back and forth.  So I want to see if there is an important reason, rather than what is pretty, why I should decide to use one over another.
   I have narrowed down to the following:   no specific order               
         1) Accuweather
         2) AMJbarron
         3) AMJdseverestorm
         4) Aegisglowingreflectivity
    Have a good afternoon and evening!!!     Mark

I've tried several, but I prefer Aegisglowingreflectivity.

Why? Hmm... I don't know. I like the colors? I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

   Actually, that is what I wanted to hear.  I also like the aegisglowingreflectivity table.
When I want to get the high res or high def I try the advantageHD but only once in a while.   Thanks for the info and especially for the OFB's.  I am still cruising around looking for more of those. 8-)

I don't mess with them.  I just use the default.

I mostly have stayed with the default all along.  I did drop the lowest level 1 or 2 colors when I was uploading it to my webpage to reduce ground clutter.

The last time I used GRLevel X was in March..the free trial version of Level 2 or 3 (I think that's what it's called?). I frickin' LOVED IT compared to any other software, like Storm Predator.  :roll:
I don't remember if could customize the color table, but if I could've, I would use the NWS color table, minus the blue, purple, and brown.
