I am in the process of changing RLDLY to correct phase as well as
delay. That should fix things for your case. It does not for the eVLA
case where IFs 1-8 get 1 RLDLY solution and IFs 9-16 get another but the
IFs have all had separate CALIB solutions and so are not phase aligned.
PCAL is a polarization solution task and has nothing to do with pulse
cal tones. RLDIF is only meaningful if there are polarization D term
solutions.
