Has anyone done an installation of AWIPS II with GEMPAK in a configuration where you're downloading data from the Internet instead of LDM? Curious if/how AWIPS II can be configured to point to the same data as GEMPAK...

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

I've been running AWIPS II for several weeks now, and it's actually surprisingly functional. Lots to go, but better than I expected. As far as data, I discovered by accident that if you configure and install the EDEX server, it will actually pull in some GRIB data over either FTP or HTTP. I had previously not installed the EDEX server portion, but played around with it. I left it running, and the next day, I had filled my entire disk (~2TB) because EDEX was ingesting GRIB and not cleaning out the old data. You might be able to play around with some things and maybe run a stripped down EDEX to pull in data? Just a though.
Personally, I've been using the edex-azure unidata server, but it is limited to .edu domains.
EDIT:
I should also note that this is on a rather beefy linux desktop I use for work, so results may not be the same for VM or smaller machines.
