Robert,

Works for me, as it should since we are decoding all the 0.5 degree grib 2 files
from CONDUIT as well.

Make sure you ftp in binary mode!

ftp> bin 
200 Type set to I
ftp> get  gfs.t12z.pgrbf03.grib2
local: gfs.t12z.pgrbf03.grib2 remote: gfs.t12z.pgrbf03.grib2


> cat gfs.t12z.pgrbf03.grib2 | dcgrib2 -v 1 -d - YYYYMMDDHH_gfs.gem
