Hi Michael,

I noticed the grid resolution of 2145x1377, which is the 2.5km LAMP grid.  The 
pattern action above is going to match both the 2.5km and 5km grids. This 
update will be in the next GEMPAK release, but I've copied the correct patterns 
below for you (please account for the TAB spacing below as with all pqact 
entries).  The 5km grid is 1073x689 and will be written to files named 
*_lamp5km.gem. 


# LAMP (Local Awips MOS Products) 5km
NGRID   ^[LM][AB]U... KWNO
        PIPE    dcgrib2 -v 1 -d data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_lamp.log
        -e GEMTBL=/home/gempak/NAWIPS/gempak/tables
        data/gempak/model/mos/YYYYMMDDHH_lamp5km.gem
#
# LAMP 2.5km
NGRID   ^[LM][CD]U... KWNO
        PIPE    dcgrib2 -v 1 -d data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_lamp.log
        -e GEMTBL=/home/gempak/NAWIPS/gempak/tables
        data/gempak/model/mos/YYYYMMDDHH_lamp.gem
