[IDD #LDE-365303]: Duplicate(?) /pNCRVAX in IDD feed?

Hi Daryl,

re:
> Thanks for the response. 

I just verified that both of our "operational" NOAAPort ingest machines
are inserting two NCR products from VAX every 5 minutes.  Here is a snippit
of a 'notifyme -vl- -f NEXRAD3 -o 3600 -p NCRVAX' invocation I just ran
on one of the ingest machines:

The output from our other NOAAPort ingest machine (which is feeding from a
different NOVRA S300n) is identical to this.

Things to note:

- the time stamp difference between the images in a pair range
  from a handful of milliseconds (e.g., 4 ms for the one that is
  8823 in size) to over a second (e.g., 1.74 s for the one that
  is 9136 bytes in size)

- the size of the duplicate product can differ from the first
  processed, but not by much

It seems to me that a time difference of over 1 s indicates that
duplicate products are being produced at the radar itself and
is, therefore, not some sort of an artifact of the ingest processing.

re:
> Would it help if I sent a complete list of

Perhaps.  We would pass this list along to NWS folks for their
review and possible action.  There is not much we can do at the
ingest since the products pass the duplicate MD5 signature test.

Cheers,

Tom
