Hi all, I recently grabbed a copy of the RSL library from Github to see if it had been updated to read files coming from Build 19 and, indeed, it had. So I thought it wouldn’t be too difficult to update extlib/rsl in gempak to use the updates. After a couple of trips down some rabbit holes in my “spare time” over the holidays , I realized yesterday that I was trying too hard and just copied the new RSL routins over to my extlib/rsl/src and made a couple of rather small additions to handle reading radar locations from $GEMTBL files and, somewhat amazingly, I now am able to use gpnexr2 and nexr2rhi to read and display Build 19 files. I’m working on writing up what I did and am looking for any volunteers who would like to see if my directions make sense and are usable.

Any decoder relying on hard-coded offsets/sizes is quite likely to choke in some fashion on these modifications. If that's the cause, I'm not sure why that's only now showing up though--KDDC started shipping this data back in May.

I'm seeing the same number of packets in ldm data from radars in Build 18.2 and Build 19. 67 packets from S -> E, but the packets from the Build 19 radar are larger. Also, I'm only seeing one time in the identifier from the radars and the complete ldm files are about the same length of time apart -- 8-9 minutes. We do our own reading of the data, and at first glance, things seem fine - with multiple 00.50 cuts, but not other cuts?

So, from what I can tell, the level2 files for some radars (for whatever reason) are transmitting two volume scans per file. The radars in question appear random, but it might be related to a recent upgrade in ROC software or something. EDIT: the files that blow things up are SAILS_1!!! The file sizes are double because (surprise!) there are two timesteps due to this SAILS_1.

My questions: 1) Is your LDM queue holding an hour's worth of data `pqmon`? Do you know if your upstream sources are holding an hour's worth of data? Is your LDM logging anything exciting about switching upstreams etc ? 2) Do the file write timestamps on the files make sense? Such that the write time coincides with the end of the VCP transmission? 3) Do your file byte sizes match what is found on the files at AWS / my realtime site? https://mesonet-nexrad.agron.iastate.edu/level2/raw/KDVN/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__mesonet-2Dnexrad.agron.iastate.edu_level2_raw_KDVN_&d=DwMFaQ&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=ubRAum_abJ_VeyWwkZyVzQ&m=wqW2WLuyzyZU0t0LOCAuj0KF3bVKIE-fp2Is49kDI1s&s=Lb4ugxnNf9grIrRBrVNUKxxSETYlIdm_CjL3tqZ__4s&e=> Do you have a recent example (today / yesterday) of a 2x / 3x file?

A couple of weeks ago, I had a couple scripts start to break that are using gpnexr2_gf with: Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference. Backtrace for this error: #0 0x7FD1DF3C1697 #1 0x7FD1DF3C1CDE #2 0x7FD1DE8BC3AF #3 0x7FD1DE9F0B54 #4 0x4BCFCB #5 0x4B8E59 #6 0x4B93C7 #7 0x42A510 #8 0x4288FE #9 0x40F5A7 #10 0x40903D #11 0x40554A #12 0x405588 #13 0x7FD1DE8A8504 #14 0x4046D7 #15 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Segmentation fault (core dumped) A quick peek of the file size for these stations (relative to others) indicate nearly a doubling (in some cases tripling) of the file size versus other stations that are still working. As an example, compare your file sizes today for KDVN and KILX, both of which are in VCP 35. I'm using the standard hhmmssRadarII perl script to create the volumes off of LDM. Again, no issues for some sites, and then this memory error is popping up for others. I sense a change in file contents or format... Any/all ideas welcome.
