[AWIPS #VDI-502577]: Low resolution GOES data?

Hi there,

Sorry it's taken me a moment to get back to you. The GOES-16 and -17 FullDisk 
imagery is coming from NOAAPort and distributed in the NIMAGE IDD feed has 
always had 6km resolution. NOAA made this decision to save bandwidth in the 
NOAAPort SBN.

Hope that clears things up.
