[IDD #OWZ-603499]: Error downloading radar data

Hi Carl,

You've got the substring matching in the LDM configuration-file; it should go 
in the pqact(1) configuration-file. Change your REQUEST entry to this:

    REQUEST NEXRAD "SDUS[23578]. ....[0-3][0-9][0-2][0-9][0-6][0-9].*/pDAAAIH" 
idd.unidata.ucar.edu

(assuming there's no space between the "...." and the "[0-3]". If there is, 
then insert it. Our support-email system reformats email, unfortunately.) And 
change your pqact(1) configuration-file entry to this:

    NEXRAD<tab>"^SDUS[23578]. 
....([0-3][0-9])[0-2][0-9][0-6][0-9].*/p(DAA)(AIH)"<tab>FILE<tab>-close 
/awips2/edex/data/manual/\1

Where <tab> is an optional newline and one or more tab characters.

Know that the above pqact(1) entry will *append* the products into files based 
on the "([0-3][0-9])" expression. If that's not what you want, then you'll have 
to modify the entry.
