Carissa,

Indeed! Becky was just here at our Users Committee meeting. We had a (nice?) 
chat about GRIB. :-)

GRIB1? GRIB2? Both are only as good as their tables. :-(

Enhancing pqing(1) to support the ingestion of GRIB2 messages should be 
straightforward though non-trivial. It would probably take a week. I can add it 
to the issue-list on the LDM's GitHub repository but there's no telling when I 
would get around to it.

This issue exists solely because of the requirement to ingest GRIB2 messages 
from a serial port. Can that requirement not be worked-around?
