It appears the grib1 format files work fine from the FTP server, so I will just
go with that. The #002 files are small enough that bandwidth is not as much of
an issue.

Robert,
The grid#002 data in CONDUIT is still grib1 format at this time, so your
decoding of the grib2 files you download would be something different
than
the CONDUIT data stream contains at present.
I'd have to see the dcgrib2 command line you are using to decode. It
could be
a template issue or your local filename. Have you tried decoding the
file by hand outside of your script to verify that the command line
your script is producing is what you intend? You can direct
GEMPAK specific questions and/or the relevant information about
your decoder command line, input, version etc to gembud (or
support-gempak).
Here is an example using the grib2 f288 data (eg grid #002)
