Steve, Never mind. I found the problem. It was user error after all as far as NMAP2 goes. I THOUGHT I was selecting QBUF, but I was selecting QSCT. Sorry for putting you through that trouble. Have you been able to duplicate the GARP issue I e-mailed you about? Thanks, Robert -----Original Message----- From: Steve Chiswell To: Robert Mullenax Cc: GEMPAK support Sent: 3/24/2005 10:23 AM Subject: RE: QuikSCAT winds in NMAP2? Robert, Can you send me your QSCT parameter setting line you tried with GPMAP? There is no color bar for QBUF data type that I have written, so that sounds very strange. The QSCT and AMB progds from NCEP have that, but not the QBUF for the BUFR data.
