David,

The 5.6.f distribution is all set for these products in nmap2.
In older distributions, you just won't see a calibrated
colorbar- but the images will still display.

I provided the following imgtyp.tbl entries in 5.6.f:

! Unidata GINI composite RADAR (ranges as defined in unidata/nex2gini.tbl)
RADAR                NET           0    255     11  2**25      1 upc_net.tbl
RADAR                N0R           0    105     11  2**26      1 upc_rad24.tbl
RADAR                NCR           0    105     11  2**27      1 upc_rad24.tbl
RADAR                NVL           0    255     11  2**28      1 upc_nvl.tbl
RADAR                N1P           0    255     11  2**29      1 upc_n1p.tbl
RADAR                NTP           0    255     11  2**30      1 upc_ntp.tbl

And, you are going to need some color tables in $GEMTBL/luts:
