Try doing a notifyme(1) to idd.unidata.ucar.edu for the data-products using the same feedtype and pattern as in the REQUEST entry. That will tell you if we have the products and if the REQUEST entry is correct. > Could that prevent me from getting NIMAGE feed from Unidata as well or is > there another issue? No. > I am running ldm 6.13.16. Odd. There is no 6.13.16.
