Hi David,
Apologies, the DPA is NOT on the NNEXRAD feed and is not in NIDS format.
It is in the HDS/HRS feed and the action to decode/file is:
#
HDS ^SDUS8. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(DPA)(...)
FILE -close data/gempak/nexrad/NIDS/\5/\4/\4_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3
Let me know if you need any further clarification..
Cheers,
Jeff
