Hi Heather,
re: check out the GOES-16 image you downloaded from the PDA at the office

No worries.
Here is the good/bad news:
I downloaded the image you put out on NG Safe Access, and I had no problem
listing/displaying the image in Unidata McIDAS-X v2016a.
Here is the output that shows my dataset definition and from IMGLIST
and IMGDISP:

I have attached the GIF created by the FRMSAVE invocation.
The only thing that I can think of is you somehow have SSH tunneling enabled
for your ABI dataset. I _think_ that the way to check to see if this is true
is:
DATALOC LIST
If SSH tunneling was (somehow) setup, then it needs to be removed
using:
DATALOC SSHDEL address
Cheers,
Tom
