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
