You neglect to tell me what data you are using - mostly from what VLB
correlator?  This is an error - the VLBA correlator does not write BA
tables andso BA2BP should NEVER be called.  As a consequence, it has
not been tested properly and the very complicated matters of selecting
spectral channels and IFs in bandpass tables are not even addressed in
the subroutine.

Please send me the output of IMHEADER run on the data file produced by
FITLD.
