This must mean that there is a problem with your pqact.conf entries for those products. >From looking >over the pqact entries, it doesn't look like there is any reason why I >shouldn't be receiving GOES-10 unless it isn't in the datastream. Any >ideas? Since both Chiz and I sent you example pqact.conf entries, I have no way of knowing which one(s) you are using. If you send us the actions that you setup for the GOES-West products, we can work through them to find out why they are not working. Thanks.
