I don't have the station in the sfmetar_sa.tbl file, so it just gets -9999 for lat and lon (I have -a 500 for dcmetr to make room for extra stations not in the station table). When did you add the station to sfmetar_sa.tbl? Until a new file is created, the table changes won't be reflected, and if you didn't have extra room for stations not in the station table, you may not have room for it in your file. I'm currently decoding with: DDS|IDS ^S[AP].* .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9]) PIPE decoders/dcmetr -v 2 -a 500 -m 72 -s sfmetar_sa.tbl -d data/gempak/logs/dcmetr.log -e GEMTBL=/home/gempak/NAWIPS/gempak/tables data/gempak/surface/YYYYMMDD_sao.gem If you have lat/lons, I will add them to the station table for 5.6.F.
