WCPO brands its radars as "9 First Warning Doppler", " VIPIR 9" and "TrueView". On July 1, 2003, WCPO began to operate a second Doppler weather radar out of the Clermont County Airport in Batavia.en.wikipedia.orgIn combination with the radar located at WCPO's transmission tower site, both radars were named "Ultimate Doppler Radar", though the transmitter dome was eventually put out of service.
