[gembud] help needed on GDRADR issue

[Haldun Karan]

hi,
I wrote this problem I am having with GDRADR before but I really need 
some help here. I have a file KLCH_SDUS64_NCZLCH_200504300600 which is a 
level III composite reflectivity NCZ file. I need to make a grid file 
using GDRADR. When I execute the following script, and to see typical 
values within this newly generated gridded file using gdlist, all the 
values
were extremely huge numbers like 9999999848243207295109594873856.00
anyone can explain why and tell me how to do this correctly
Thanks very much in advance.

also in my .cshrc file, I added (I am not sure if I have to but just in 
case I did it anyway)
setenv GEMDATA /ngissc/users/karan/WRF/wrf2gem_src
setenv RAD $GEMDATA/nexrad
setenv NEXRIII $RAD/NIDS/KLCH/NCZ
