John,

The RTMA grids are not part of the CONDUIT feed, but are being sent over 
NOAAPORT (http://www.nws.noaa.gov/dm-cgi-bin/chgshow.pl?fn=DM07-06.09.txt),
so are part of the NGRID feed which is being distributed widely as part of the 
IDD.

The decoder action I supply for GEMPAK is:
# RTMA (real-time mesoscale analysis) Grid 227 CONUS 5km
NGRID   ^[LM].M... KWBR
        PIPE    decoders/dcgrib2 -m 200 -d data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_rtma.log
        -e GEMTBL=@GEMTBL@
        data/gempak/model/rtma/YYYYMMDDHH_rtma.gem
