Success!  Thanks for your help.

Justin,

Your nexrad.tbl listing below is incorrect. The nexrad.tbl file that should be used
is a station location table ($GEMTBL/stns/nexrad.tbl). Make sure you don't have a nexrad.tbl file that
is not a GEMPAK station table in your working directory. Your lines look like file template lines.

The NEXRIII entry in $GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl is the correct entry,
and there should be only one NEXRIII template in that file:
$RAD/NIDS/%SITE%/%PROD%   %PROD%_YYYYMMDD_HHNN.....etc

The likely problem you are having is the $GEMTBL/stns/nexrad.tbl file uses 3 letter station
ID's which are used in the %SITE% template replacement. These match the PIL station IDs
in the realtime NOAAPORT feed, eg: N0RILX, such that the supplied pqact pattern actions
I provide name the files such as $RAD/NIDS/ILX/N0R.

If you have used 4 letter station IDs in your file names, then you must either create a new 
station table that uses the 4 letter station IDs instead of the 3 letter IDs and use that
in the STNFIL parameter, or rename your data directories using the 3 letter IDs.

OK.  I'm making progress.  gdinfo shows that there is a grid in the 
file, but gdplot2 doesn't show any data.

I am using a nexrad.tbl file to point to my level III data:
NEXRIII   $RAD/NIDS/KILX/%PROD%   %PROD%_YYYYMMDD_HHNN  CAT_NIL  
SCAT_NIL   10   2880     -1
NEXRIII   $RAD/NIDS/KDVN/%PROD%   %PROD%_YYYYMMDD_HHNN  CAT_NIL  
SCAT_NIL   10   2880     -1
NEXRIII   $RAD/NIDS/KLSX/%PROD%   %PROD%_YYYYMMDD_HHNN  CAT_NIL  
SCAT_NIL   10   2880     -1

I have tried it with %SITE% in the path and also with only one site 
listed explicitly, both giving me no new result.

Here's my gdradr input:
GRDAREA   Area covered by grid              38.8;-96.67;43.79;-87.01

Justin,

The maximum grid size that can be computed in GDRADR
is the value of GEMPAK's LLMXGD which is 400,000 points. 
Your grid is 480,000 points.

Decrease your KXKY so that thr grid is =< 400000.
