Tony,
FYI... if you want to see the hail core's better... on the BR menu, select either Composite Reflective so all tilts are shown. I prefer the basic one but the 245nm version is nice to see things further in the distance.
I typically only switch to CR for a little bit, then back to BR to help see the lower level data. Oh, also on BR and any radar product that has multiple tilts, you can use the up/down arrows to quickly switch between tilts. Handy if looking at BV or SRV and you want to see what sort of mid level rotation as one example.
