I did a Google (tm) search for SDUS6 and ran into an email exchange between Greg Grosshans of NOAA and Anne. Of particular interest was a comment about SDUS6* products: SDUS4i is RCM, ROB SDUS5i is radar products SDUS6i products to be centrally collected on the radar server but not sent on NOAAPORT SDUS8i is reserved for digital PCPN array data If the SDUS65 product is not being broadcast in NOAAPORT, it will not be found in the IDD. If it is being sent in NOAAPORT, it would be found in the HDS datastream: We are putting SUDS5* under the feed type "NEXRAD". The other NEXRAD products that you mention, SDUS4*, SDUS6*, and SDUS8* are placed under our "HDS" feed type. We're constrained by the fact that pqing was designed for the old FOS stream. Each invocation of pqing is for a particular feedtype, e.g HDS. So, we invoke pqing for HDS, but then we filter the SDUS5* products from that stream into the NEXRAD feed type, leaving everything else under HDS. > Thanks No worries.
