Hi Ziv,

Sorry for the slow replies.  We have been preparing for the AMS Annual Meeting
that will be held next week in New Orleans, and so have been quite busy 
lately...

re:

This is my fault.  The example pqact.radars file that I provided originally
used CRAFT (the historic name for the NEXRAD2 feed).  I did a quick edit after
copying the file to our FTP area and thought that I had change all occurrences
of CRAFT to NEXRAD2.  I recommend that you change all occurrences of CRAFT
to NEXRAD2, but this is not actually necessary for things to work as they
both indicate the same feedtype.

re:

No, it does not matter that there are actions that won't be matched
to the feed(s)+ProductIDs that will be processed.  The overhead for keeping
the additional actions in the file is negligible, so there is no need to
to worry about them.

re:
> Thanks!

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
