Alaric, FOS and NOAAport are not identical at all because the sequence nunbers don't match. The LDM uses a md5 check sum on each product including the sequence numbers, so the products appear different to the LDM. So you will get product duplication. You have to make a choice to use only one feed. Also, don't request the FOS from Alden, UPC has terminated that contract in Jan. Robb... ps I was out of the office last week.
