Hi Bongchul,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, and thanks for the reminder email.  

By default, the AWIPS II LDM only requests the FNEXRAD composite feed from the 
Unidata IDD cluster, but the NEXRAD3 feed can be enable with a very simple edit 
to ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf:

REQUEST NEXRAD3 ".*" idd.unidata.ucar.edu

https://github.com/Unidata/awips2/blob/upc_14.4.1/rpms/awips2.core/Installer.ldm/patch/etc/ldmd.conf#L93


You can also control what products or sites are requested, if you do not want 
to ingest the entire national set of radar sites, with edits to 
~ldm/etc/pqact.conf.

By default the entire feed is allowed, but you can un-comment the partial feed 
below:

# NEXRAD3 
# full feed
NEXRAD3 ^(SDUS[23578].) .... (......) /p(...)(...)
        FILE    -overwrite -close -edex 
/awips2/data_store/radar/\4/\3/\1_\4_\3_\2_(seq).rad

# partial feed
#NEXRAD3        ^(SDUS[23578].) .... (......) 
/p(DHR|DPR|DSP|DU3|DU6|DVL|EET|HHC|N0Q|N0S|N0U|N0X|N0Z|NCR|NMD|OHA)(...)
#       FILE    -overwrite -close -edex 
/awips2/data_store/radar/\4/\3/\1_\4_\3_\2_(seq).rad
