At SSEC, our NOAAPORT ingestor is receiving 3-hourly forecasts grids
from the MRF in projection 213 out to 24 hours and 3-hourly forecast
grids from the ETA in projections 212 and 215. We are also receiving the
RUC 3-hourly runs. -XCD is decoding all of them just fine. Perhaps you
are not receiving the grid projections that contain 3-hourly forecasts.
