Hi Eric,

Thanks a lot for the info ! Two pairs of FQ and SU tables are attached. 
The first (DBCON.SU, DBCON.FQ) were the final ones, obtained using DBCON 
to combine separate FITS files, each containing 4 IFs, but different 
sources. The second (3C286.SU, 3C286.FQ) are the initial ones from one 
of the input files to DBCON. It appears tha the problem lies with DBCON as
the original files, 3C286.SU and 3C286.FQ, both show 4 IFs while DBCON.SU 
shows just 1 (DBCON.FQ shows all 4). The IMHEADER of the DBCON'd file is 
attached below this mail, followed by that of the original file. I'll take 
a shot at changing the number of IFs back to 4 in the DBCON'd SU table 
next and will get back.

Many thanks again !

Best regards,
Nissim
