Gilbert,

An example of the RCM header in the HDS stream is:
SDUS46 KLOX 101643 /pRCMVBX

The simplest pattern will be to key on the pil "pRCM" rather than the WMO
since the ROB and RCM both use the SDUS4[0-6] header, eg:
HDS     SDUS4[0-6] .... [0-3][0-9][0-2][0-9][0-9][0-9].*/pRCM

The difference between the RCM and ROB is that the RCM messages come from the
individual stations, whereas the ROB messages come from from KWBC

You can selectively match SDUS4[0-6] not from KWBC using a pattern such
as Robb provided to the ldm-users list:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/ldm-users-list/3850


Note that that Hawaii is sending RCM's using SDUS40, so be sure to
use [0-6] rather than [1-6].
