Question Nexrad

Has anyone here noticed that since ATC began using NEXRAD radar the increase of "moderate, heavy, extreme" precipitation reports when there is no detectable precip (or turbulence) at all? (My point is not an ATC issue, but a NEXRAD one.)

Has anyone here felt that on-board NEXRAD, such as XM, often highly overstates the intensity level of precipitation?
