[LDM #HMA-788722]: LDM problem

I think NEXRAD2 data is flowing from idd.unidata to Adiabat but that
the data is too old and is being rejected.  This is consistent with
the output from the NEXRAD2, downstream LDM on Adiabat when sent
a USR2 signal.

I'm concerned about overlap in the REQUEST entries in the LDM
configuration-file.  REQUEST entries should either be disjoint in
the data that they request or identical: there should be no overlap;
otherwise, more bandwidth than necessary might be used.  I don't
know if this is the case with your entries because I don't know
what data the upstream LDM-s have.  If I had to, however, I would
modify the entries to the following:

request GEM ".*" ldm.meteo.ec.gc.ca
request ANY-GEM-EXP-NEXRAD2-GPS-CONDUIT ".*" marconi.rwic.und.edu
request ANY-GEM-EXP-NEXRAD2-GPS-CONDUIT ".*" 129.15.194.231
request ANY-GEM-EXP-NEXRAD2-GPS-CONDUIT ".*" 129.15.194.232
request ANY-GEM-EXP-NEXRAD2-GPS-CONDUIT ".*" 129.15.194.233
request EXP     "^IA\.rwis......\.sao"  mesonet.agron.iastate.edu
request EXP     "^IA\.snet......\.sao"  mesonet.agron.iastate.edu
request EXP ".*" pircsl4.agron.iastate.edu
request GPS ".*" suomildm1.cosmic.ucar.edu
request CONDUIT "[09]$" idd.unidata.ucar.edu
request CONDUIT "[18]$" idd.unidata.ucar.edu
request CONDUIT "[27]$" idd.unidata.ucar.edu
request CONDUIT "[36]$" idd.unidata.ucar.edu
request CONDUIT "[45]$" idd.unidata.ucar.edu
request NEXRAD2 ".*" idd.unidata.ucar.edu

The modifications are to the "ALL" request to the 129.15.194.*
hosts to exclude the data that's being requested from elsewhere.

I notice that Adiabat is currently received NEXRAD2 data OK.
Please keep an eye on it and keep me apprised.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
