Thanks for the notes Eric. Wouldn't BLOAT with different IF's be like 
forcing DBCON into different arrays? For data sets where you have the 
identical sampling, antennas etc., what would you think is best:
1) BLOAT to combine all the lines in one bigger spectral database, 2) 
DBCON shifting u,v,w's of freq. 2 to freq. 1, or 3) DBCON forcing separate 
subarrays (I haven't done this when it wasn't really different configs)?
Thanks again for helping me understand this. Cheers,
