RE: 20030403:pqact.conf GOES-12

Nancy, 

First, it would be wise for you to join the gembud maillist as this was
brought up today and answered on the list.

To join go to:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailinglist/mailing-list-form.html

Also, as discussed on the list, there is a newer version 5.6.j that
handles this issue seamlessly and was released about a month ago..

Here is the solution..I suspect this is the problem as your pqact.conf
looked AOK..

<snip>

The current distribution (5.6.J) contains entries in
$GEMTBL/sat/imgtyp.tbl for GOES 11 and GOES 12. If you don't have them,
then here they are for you to add to your file:

GOES11               VIS          30    220     76      1      1 GRAY
GOES11               IR2           0    255     76      2      1 GRAY
GOES11               IR3           0    255     76      4      1 watvap.tbl
GOES11               IR4           0    255     76      8      1 GRAY
GOES11               IR5           0    255     76     16      1 GRAY
GOES12               VIS          30    220     78      1      1 GRAY
GOES12               IR2           0    255     78      2      1 GRAY
GOES12               IR3           0    255     78      4      1 watvap.tbl
GOES12               IR4           0    255     78      8      1 GRAY

Thanks and good luck, please let me know if this does not solve your
problem...or even if it does :)

Cheers,
