Heather,

I am able to plot the current real-time data from KRTX. Your script is 
generally OK. The RADTIM isn't in the
correct GEMPAK dattim format, but since you are specifying the exact file to 
use, you can
simply set RADTIM=last. Also, the parameter for the image color bar is IMCBAR 
rather than IMBAR.

You may want to try using the gpnexr2_gf from the 5.10.4 distribution since it 
does have changes for
several of the newer VCPs which you may be finding in use. If you are unable to 
view the data still,
please post a copy of your data file for me to look at.
