Hello,

Couple questions - what version of AWIPS are you using? (Are you using NWS 
AWIPS or the Public Unidata AWIPS)?

What version of python are you running (python2/3) and which version of the DAF?

Also, where are you seeing/receiving this text:

KDAB is a problem
       METARraw BBXX KDAB 0912/ 99336 11304 41/// ///// 10244 20210 40187
53010 7//// 8//// 22200 0//// 2//// 80220

I'm not seeing that text being distributed at all from the SBN. I'm only seeing 
this text:

KDAB 141853Z 03014KT 10SM SCT027 SCT055 BKN075 29/23 A2995 RMK AO2
    LTG DSNT S RAB10E19 SLP140 P0000 T02940228

Unidata's version of AWIPS (EDEX) is able to process this data and I'm able to 
pull and plot the KDAB station just fine using python-awips (Unidata's 
distribution of DAF) without any issues, however we do run a slightly different 
distribution of python-awips and AWIPS (EDEX/CAVE).
