If the data will still be the level-2 data from the radars
(even though it might be of higher resolution) then the
NEXRAD2 feedtype would be the most appropriate one to use.
Selection (or rejection) of the new data-products can then
be done by using appropriate regular expressions -- assuming
that the product-identifiers are sufficiently different 
(for example, the identifiers for the new data could start
with "NEXRAD3" or "HIRES" or something equally unique).

Are the new identifiers clearly different?

Otherwise, you'll have to use a non-optimal feedtype because
there's just not that many feedtypes to go around.  SPARE
is a possibility.

Sorry I can't be of more help.  This problem of limited
feedtypes is one motivator for a replacement for the LDM
(on which I'm currently working).

Steve Emmerson
