Hi Bob,

You are correct.

I logged onto adde.ssec.wisc.edu right after seeing your inquiry.
I found that LDM FILEing of the NEXRAD Level III products was turned off,
AND, and this is strange, I was the one that turned it off!?  I turned
the FILEing back on, and I now see products in datasets like RTNEXRAD/DAA,
etc.  For example:

DATALOC ADD RTNEXRAD ADDE.SSEC.WISC.EDU
Group Name                    Server IP Address

--------------------         ----------------------------------------
RTNEXRAD                     ADDE.SSEC.WISC.EDU

<LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory.
DATALOC -- done


IMGLIST RTNEXRAD/DAA ID=MAX
Image file directory listing for:RTNEXRAD/DAA
 Pos Satellite/         Date       Time      Center   Band(s)
     sensor                                 Lat  Lon
 --- -------------  ------------  --------  ---- ---- ------------
  47  RADAR         21 MAR 16081  22:24:44     MAX    17
IMGLIST: done

The NEXRALL dataset should also now have data since it is also populated
with NEXRAD Level III products.

Now all I have to do is remember why I commented out the FILEing of
the Level III products...

Cheers,

Tom
