I work outside and would like a link to a free radar image of my city. I
tried entering this link:

http://www.crh.noaa.gov/radar/images/DS.p19r0/SI.kmpx/latest.gif

but the phone returned this: ?latest.gif
Could it be that the phone is incapable of displaying .gif files?

That's exactly what's happening.

Use your phone's browser to open up the address:
 http://www.srh.noaa.gov/wml
and then navigate to the weather radar for your city, bookmarking that page.

Hope that helps.

Since we've already paid for the info available from that .gov URL, I've
always wondered why anyone would want to pay more for a subscription
service that gets it's data from the same source.

 One more problem, I have to clear the cache every time before I access
the radar or it will load the previous image. Anyone know how to set the
phone to not use the cached image? I looked in the manual but couldn't
find anything. Thanks

Never mind, found it. It's called cache check.
