[daip] multi-channel continuum calibration

Hi Eric,
We recently observed Sgr A* using EVLA at 7mm in the A-array using
2x1Ghz band as the headers below show.
We combined the data using avspc and then proceeded  calibrating  the data 
following self-cal (P and A&P)
Turned out the imaging quality is really bad and can't see any extended 
emission except Sgr A*.

I am suspecting that because of the delay across the
band and the consequent poor  deconvolution that we are getting
terrible images. Any suggestions as to we should proceed properly
(step-by-step including  self-cal on channel data above).

Many thanks,
Farhad
