[GEMPAK #ZJU-446469]: nmap2 errors displaying nexrad level 3 dpr

Hi Art,

Unfortunately, I don't have support for the DPR/176 product in GEMPAK right 
now.  The instantaneous precip product is a uniquely formatted data file that 
can't be processed by the same code that handles other level3 products (65,536 
data levels instead of 256).  I've intentionally left it off of our NEXRAD3 
level3 example page,

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/radar.html#nexrad3 

until I can add support, but I'm not sure when.

-Michael
