Hi Pat,

re:
> I can do the first part,

I assume you mean changing the REQUEST line in your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf file.

re:
> not sure about the second part.

Do you mean setting up actions that will reconstitute NEXRAD Level II pieces
back into full volume scans?

re:
> Is that why there are two entries in my pqact.conf?

Two entries?  I am not sure that I understand.

All but five of your REQUEST lines in your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf file are
replicated to increase data reception reliability by redundancy. 
The
REQUESTs that are not replicated are:

REQUEST DIFAX      ".*" idd.unidata.ucar.edu                 
REQUEST NEXRAD2    "/p(...)(LSX|EAX|SGF)" idd.unidata.ucar.edu         
REQUEST GPS        ".*" 128.117.29.216
REQUEST NLDN       ".*" striker2.atmos.albany.edu
REQUEST PCWS       "^FSL\.CompressedNetCDF\.MADIS\.(acars|acarsProfiles)"     
eldm.fsl.noaa.gov

The reasons for this are:

DIFAX, GPS, NLDN, PCWS - these all have a single data source
NEXRAD2                - you are just getting setup for this datastream

Cheers,

Tom
