Gilbert, The information I sent you yesterday was just in regard to Level 2 products which are sent in the 100 radial chunks you mentioned. The CRAFT patterns that are available for GEMPAK in your pqact.gempak come from the $NAWIPS/ldm/etc/templates/pqact.gempak_craft, and show the patterns. You can use the notifyme command as well to see what the NEXRAD2 feed contains. The Level 3 data are products, not sent in chunks. You may have a misconception about level 2. The level 2 data provide the reflectivity, velocity and spectrum width values for the entire volume. Eg, there are not seperate products for reflectivity or velocity, so you cannot request just a single tilt/variable for a site.
