[LDM #NFA-100528]: SBN Channel Alignment Question

Mike - you will not need to go to that level of effort.

Unless, Raytheon does something different with their RPM packaged LDM, there 
are only the following feedtypes generated by the noaaportIngester:

HDS
IDS|DDPLUS
NEXRAD
NGRID
NIMAGE
NOTHER

The reality is the logic in the code is such that the product ID and feedtype 
assigned should not matter what SBN PID it comes in on . . . so the fact is, 
probably nothing will need changed at all.  The notice is providing the worst 
case, which is the the primary contractor for the uplink changes the data type 
in the NOAAPort transmission header such that it is outside of the NOAAPort 
transmission ICD definitions.  The only two data types listed in the notice 
that I am unsure of, if things go worst case, is the WMO ^AT and WMO ^FT.  I 
believe they are both coded as either IDS|DDPLUS or HDS . . . 

On the NMC channel, that will be IDS|DDPLUS, NEXRAD, NGRID, and HDS . . . and 
of the products being moved, we know that NGRID will stay the same, and that 
the only other products are all feedtyped HDS.

Oddly enough, the first product in the list, WMO ^AT . . . is not defined.  I 
am almost sure it is BUFR, so it would be cast as HDS.  The WMO ^HR is a GRIB1, 
so it is currently HDS.  The WMO ^JU is BUFR.  The next two on the list are 
GRIB, but I believe - ironically - they are the SPC convective outlook grids, 
from your neighbors.

This all boils down to - except for the two conditions I indicated very early 
on - is for those products on the NMC channel that you were configuring for 
HDS, adding the pipe NGRID to make sure.  It would be certainly more 
restrictive than an "ANY".  On the two I mentioned, it is nice that they are 
pretty specific, so you could do an ANY ^AT and ANY ^FT, just to be safe.

Does that help?  I am coming out with a more information this week on the 
change.
