Here is the history from running AFARS three times with three different sets of BLC,TRC (on the RM axis).  The three maps are very different from each other, because there has apparently been a constant offset put into some of the RMs, while some of them are right.  Here is an IMVIM between two of the pairs of maps, on an equal scale, so you can see. (I've only included points with strong signals, so there should not be any effect from including more or less of the RM spectrum).

I changed that to have it take the blanked value instead.  It now seems to do the same on a SUBIM of the images or on a BLC,TRC in AFARS.
