Hi Eric,

This is a follow-up to the bandpass question I asked you recently. We have 
our instrument data formatted into FITS-IDI and would like to have a 
bandpass attached to the data in the early stages to allow us the most 
flexibility possible with understanding the data. There is a fixed 
bandpass function that is generated by the filters in place and so we can 
generate that to make a bandpass table. I have tried the trick you mention 
of taking a BP from a normal uvfits data set and attaching that to the 
FITS-IDI data set. This seems to work, it loads a BP table and the amps 
and structure look good. There are some messages generated that I'd like 
to understand a bit better. I attach below the output of FITLD on the 
FITS-IDI data file after I have attached the BP table to it. Before 
attaching the table the file loads without and of the extra messages. I'm 
not sure what the source of the messages is. I ran a UVDIF and the data 
all checks out ok. I have checked the two fits tables before loading them 
and the columns of the FQ and SU table are identical. After loading the 
file with the BP attached 'loses' some of the entries in these tables. 
I've been looking at the FITLD code but can't really see where this issue 
is originating. I'd appreciate any insight you have on this. Cheers,

   								Tracy
