Ken,

Sorry about the delay in the response, pressing issues.  UPC uses a SSEC
system that get the NOAAport ( AWIPS ) feed and it puts it into an LDM
queue. The LDM then distributes it to many IDD sites. The SSEC system only
gets channel 3, both the text and the binary products. We filter out the
encrypted radar images.

I believe the contact is Denise Laitsch

The system works good, it has to have an exception file to put
some products in the binary stream that have a text like header. It's
pretty low maintenance,  maybe an update once a year. Probably less
updates in the future.
