Hello Amy, the requested tables are attached to this mail.

In other observations we used an 8 MHz bandwidth and 256 channels
to obtain observations in RCP and LCP. BE026A was observed with
16 MHz bandwidth and 512 channels to have the same velocity resolution.

I recall discussions that the maximum spectral resolution would
be restricted by the bit rate and that in the case of the BE026A 
settings we would loose one of the polarizations. That's why I am
confused.

I guess that I have to use ALTDEF to change the reference pixel before
using SPLIT to get the right velocity settings?

Regards, Dieter
