Re: 20050801: 8-bit 88D data in GEMPAK

Matt,

If you could send me a set orf the 3 from this afternoon when there are
some echoes to look at, it would help. I've plotted the DX which is just
a ground clutter pattern, but if I can match actual targets, it would be
easier.

Also, if you want to look at SW, VR and DZ, you could use the Level II
display.
