I have fixed the handling of index tables (NX) to keep the scan 
structure (if we know it to start with which BDF2AIPS but not CASA 
uvfits allows) since it is informative (e.g. jumps of phase or amp on 
scan boundaries etc. and one wants a CL table structure that will track 
that).   But, in the single-source self-cal stage, one would like better 
scan structures.

So - EXTDEST the NX table and run INDXR with defaults.  It should make a 
scan structure more to your liking at this stage (LISTR will show it).
