For this, it is best to read: Unidata WWW HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu GEMPAK http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak GEMPAK5.4 Information http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/GEMPAK5.4/release_notes.html Site Configuration for products http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/GEMPAK5.4/configuration.html Decoder Entries for LDM pqact.conf http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/tutorial/pqact/decoders.tbl The last page has the pqact.conf entries needed to run the GEMPAK/N-AWIPS decoders on data received via the Unidata IDD. I think that you will get the idea of how to configure things by reading through the various annotated entries in the examples. Also note that you can transfer the file with the entries by holding down the shift key while pressing mouse button one over the 'pqact.conf' portion of "Decoder Entries for LDM pqact.conf". This is useful since it will preserve the needed tabs in the file (white space between various items in pqact.conf _MUST_ be tabs, not spaces.

After several years of goin' to meetings and other paperwork, its nice to get back into the trenches! Regards, Glenn
