Which version of SDI software is okay? Sorry, I don't know the details of what version of the SDI NOAAPORT ingester wunderground.com is running. I'm CC:ing chiz on this note in case he knows. According to this: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/coohl/mhonarc/MailArchives/ldm/msg03265.html The most recent NOAAPORT ingestor changes appeared in version 2000jun06, so your ingestor is up-to-date if it's running version 2000jun06 or later. there haven't been any recent updates. I don't think any version of the SDI systems is free of bugs, its just that the older version we think may be in use at wunderground.com has a different set of bugs and doesn't seem to drop the same NOAAPORT products as in the current version. So if we feed from both wunderground.com and our other two SDI sites, we seem to get a more complete set of products, in that there are a few products each our from wunderground.com that are not seen at the other sites, and probably vice-versa. We reported the problems with dropped NOAAPORT products, but we don't know the status of efforts to fix the problem. Maybe it would help if other SDI customers reported the problem as well. --Russ
