I see some of what the issue is - the TST version does not include your
18 km/s offset at the specified channel with opcode ' ' and there seems
to be 2 * 18 km/sec offset with VCAL although I have yet to try to find
where that comes from.
The OLD version did not do OPTICAL correctly with OPCODE ' ' but did do
RADIO okay. And, of course, VCAL is new and may know nothing about
offsets in velocity and reference pixel. I will look.
