Hi Neal,

This is definitely a GEMPAK issue.

I believe that there are more recent exchanges from the gembud email list that
specifically address the modifications/additions needed in imgtyp.tbl to
support GOES-15 imagery.

Upgrading your GEMPAK installation to the current release would certainly
solve the missing entry(ies) in imgtyp.tbl.  It may be the case that simply
replacing your imgtyp.tbl with the one from a current release would solve
your immediate problem.

Question:

- what version of GEMPAK are you currently running?

  FYI: the current GEMPAK release is v6.8
