Hi,

re:

Yes.

re:
> If not, what is the difference, 

The differences are:

- we are not going to relay all products we get from NCO/NCEP in their
  EXP feed

- we ungzip the files we receive so that the end user does not have to

re:
> and if they are the same is the old
> feed going to still be available and is there a recommended best practice

The "old feed"?  I am not sure what you are referring to.

NB: We are adding MRMS products to FNEXRAD, not replacing
the products that have long been in FNEXRAD.

Cheers,

Tom
