Hi Steven, In May I updated sfstns.tbl to use the 4-character international id ICAO rather than allow domestic stations to use 3-character identifiers. A consequence is that "TOP" no longer works, instead "KTOP" is required. In the interest of maintaining working scripts which use the old 3-character identifier for US stations, today I updated the routine lcabnd.f to append 'K' to the string being searched for in sfstns.tbl, if the given string is 3-characters long and is not found on a first pass. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Unidata/gempak/master/gempak/source/gemlib/lc/lcabnd.f To check for yourself: Replace $GEMPAK/source/gemlib/lc/lcabnd.f with the above file, either manually or with "git pull" cd $GEMPAK/source/gemlib/lc/ make all ar -rv $OS_LIB/gemlib.a *.o pushd $GEMPAK/source/programs/sf/sfmap/ make clean all install clean then run sfmap again and try GAREA=KTOP and GAREA=TOP This update will be in GEMPAK 7.1.1.
