Colyn, etal,
Ok, more data.

Attached is a pic of my 496 showing Nexrad WX in Alberta >300nm north of the
US boarder (ref pic #1019). So, it seems it does have Canadian Nextrad
beyond that captured by northern US antenna sites. How much coverage Canada
has itself is unknown to me. I believe there are some selective holes in
the US coverage out west due to terrain. I suspect the same exists in
Canada, especially as you go further North.

Also, FYI pic #1008 shows a Metar for London Ontario Canada (so Canadian
Metars are included as I said before). You might note in this photo, that
the US airports don't yet have metars (triangle shaped flags). The
Canadians ones seem to load a minute or two before the US ones in the XM
data cycle (Michigan is on the left side, Canada on the right).

You do get a little bit of canada covered by american sites. I would
expect the canadian radar coverage reaches much deeper into canada.

Do you get returns from more than 100 miles across the border
