It's apparent that the latest AWIPS build is doing this, as it gets installed throughout the country. I am noticing more and more of my SWR's disappearing. For those who have to search using PILs (as a few WMO headers have as many as 5 different products under the same header), this is something I guess we'll have to do. Is this a bug, perhaps? And can it quickly be fixed with a patch? ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** Internet: gilbert@xxxxxxx (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: sebenste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** Work phone: 815-753-5492 * *******************************************************************************
