Neil,

I ran the #2 example (with radtim change for available time window)
 RADFIL   = NEXRIII|FFC|NVW
 RADTIM   = 1600-1700
 TITLE    = 1/-2/VAD DISPLAY ~
 PANEL    = 0
 DEVICE   = XW
 CLEAR    = y
 TEXT     = 1/1/1/hw
 COLORS   = 7
 WIND     = bk1
 LINE     =  
 CLRBAR   = 1/v/cl/.05;.5/.3;.01
 IMCBAR   = 5/v/LL/.005;.6/.4;.01
 GAREA    = dset
 MAP      = 0
 LATLON   = 0
 OUTPUT   = t

and #3 example for NCR product
 RADFIL   = NEXRIII|SJT|NCR
 RADTIM   = last
 TITLE    = 1/-2
 PANEL    = 0
 DEVICE   = xw
 CLEAR    = Y
 TEXT     = 1/2/2/hw
 COLORS   = 7
 WIND     =  
 LINE     =  
 CLRBAR   =  
 IMCBAR   = 5/v/LL/.005;.6/.4;.01
 GAREA    = dset
 MAP      = 6
 LATLON   = 0
 OUTPUT   = t

Both worked fine with the current version.
Have you tried the 5.8.3a distribution? It could be that the 5.8.2a
has a problem with changes in the template file processing
routines for changes that were made to the datatype.tbl file.
