Tony,

Try changing your filing structure to match the rest of the sat/rad tree
like:

$GEMDATA/nexrad/NEXRCOMP/6KN0R-NAT/BREF

Then edit your $GARPHOME/config/Garp_defaults file and add the NEXRCOMP
directory to the nowrad key, eg:

nowrad          : "$(RADDIR)/USRAD $(RADDIR)/NEXRCOMP $(RADDIR)/RADAR"
