Hi Patrick, I'm not seeing anything like the picture you put up, though I am seeing some strange grid features when loading in NMAP2 but nothing that looks too bad. I'm seeing the same number of grids in this morning's decoded files as in the last few days, so I don't think it's a problem with the data files or decoders. If you could select a grid file which you think is missing data, and run GDINFO as such GDFILE = <fill path name of grid file> LSTALL = YES OUTPUT = T GDATTIM = last GLEVEL = all GVCORD = all GFUNC = all and copy back how many grid files are counted (example): GRID ANALYSIS BLOCK: UNKNOWN ANALYSIS TYPE Number of grids in file: 18933 Maximum number of grids in file: 24000 -Michael > Hello. > > I seem to be receiving a host of bad grids.
