I have tested PCCOR with my data which have both upper and lower 
sidebands and it works.
Your PC table is still bad!  The header of your PC table reports: 
NO_BAND=8; NO_POL=2.
So the columns 9,10,11 and 14,15,16 have to include 16 rows 
(NO_BAND*NTONES(=2))
but they include only 8 rows.

I think it is not the last problem with your PC table, because I see 
(with debugger) zeros for the second tones (freq, re,im)
at each row of the table for any IF :( .  There is obvious confusion at 
the indexing of PCFRQ, PCREL, PCIMG
(POL, ITONE, JIF)
