Pavel, The UNIDATA feed consists of many feedtypes. See: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/ldm/feedtypes/index.html So there is no single action for the UNIDATA feed. We do not post these actions because everyone does things differently, some products are not wanted by all, so they act upon the feed differently. Also, I am not certain which application you are planning on using to utilize this data, you have mentioned both MCIDAS and GEMPAK, so that would create different actions as well. I am more than happy to give you any and all are actions, but it would be in your best interest to know what you want first, or if disc space is not an issue at all, or is latencies, you can act on everything...but I suspect you are probably not using global metars, all the models, etc on a daily basis..but I do not know. If you can tell me what you are hoping to ingest/decode/file I can send the appropriate entries...
