I suppose I could bump it up to say 200MB. Also, where do you Chad, I wondering if you are getting some of the nexrad data now on the NOAAport system. I have a filter to exclude that data but it was recently modified because of loophole. Here's new the filter: "(^[A-RT-Z]|^S[^D]|^SD..[0-8]|^SD..9[^7])" The filter should be on the request line to the alden nport machine as well as your local one. If you continue to have del_oldest messages, go ahead and bump up the queue size. The del_oldest conflict causes much overhead for the ldm. > recommend the ldm.pq file be placed.
