Eric,

Your data is in the correct format for dcuair, however
you need to provide bulletin delimeters to tell the decoder where
the product starts and stops. This is the way the decoder finds products 
in the realtime data stream. You can format your data like:

ZCZC

NNNN


The ZCZC string is the the start of product delimeter, and the
NNNN is the end of product delimeter.

To decode with dcuair, you need to use "-c" in front of the dattim,
which looks like:

dcuair -d - -c 040613/0000 raob2.gem < raob2.txt
