Steve,

Missed that in the 5.6.K distribution.

You'll need to add the lines:
          case IFNEX2:  /* NEXRAD Level2 files */

            crnex2 ( filnam, &ier ) ;
            break;

to the $GEMPAK/source/driver/active/gif/wsatim.c file switch statement
to match the $GEMPAK/source/driver/active/xw/xsatim.c routine (which
is used by xw, gf, and png).

Similarly with $GEMPAK/source/driver/active/ps/psatim.c.
