Hi Pete,

re:
> What is the 'official' name for the NEXRAD2 feed now?

NEXRAD2

Also, the 'official' name for the Unidata-Wisconsin datafeed is:

UNIWISC

In both cases, a number of names are supported, but current versions
of LDM utilities (e.g., notifyme) will identify the streams by their
'official' names.

Correct.  The list of supported names for all feedtypes is shown in:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/feedtypes/

Any name that is supported will do, but we recommend using the one
listed in the first column of the table in the page whose URL is
listed above.

> Thanks,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
