Use the ticket ID in all correspondence regarding the inquiry. GEMPAK can display 1 image (satellite or radar) at a time (eg when CLEAR=y and PROJ=sat or rad) per window. Attempting to display more than 1 will clear the display of the previous image. You can open multiple window displays in the DEVICE=xw|name specification. You can use the NEX2GINI or GDRADR programs to combine Level III images into a single common projection for display if the goal is to combine multiple radar locations into a single regional composite.
