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.
