[daip] FILLM gain problems

Hi,

Would you be able to help me out with the following problem? I am  
trying to load VLA L- and K-band data (from 2/21). I cannot get a  
decent amplitude calibration via the SETJY/CALIB/GETJY path (at L- 
band especially, didn't try the K-band yet). The error messages while  
loading the data are listed below.

Thanks,
Ylva
