Adam,

From the $NAWIPS/ldm/etc/templates section of the GEMPAK distribution, I show:

NNEXRAD ^SDUS[2357]. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(...)(...)
       FILE    -close  data/gempak/nexrad/NIDS/\5/\4/\4_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3

You can adjust the path accordingly.
Also note, it is very disk intensive to file all NNEXRAD products. If you are
receiving all NNEXRAD sites, you may need to run a separate instance of pqact
so that your system doesn't fall behind....especially if you aren't
using a RAID file system with striping).
