I think LISTR (31DEC14) omits printing out the scale factor when the quantity being printed is a phase (in degs). If FACTOR is set to other than 0, the values are in fact scaled, but LISTR still claims that they are "phases in degrees"

Here is output from DPARM 1 0; FACT 0

  Gain phases in degrees
    Time   Source       --01--02--03--05--06--08--09--10--11
  04:05:37.0 J1355-63  89 173-130-169-127 -20     -51 -37

Looks fine.  But when I change to FACT=10, I get this

  Gain phases in degrees
  Time   Source        --01--02--03--05--06--08--09--10--11
04:05:37.0 J1355-63     9  17 -13 -17 -13  -2      -5  -4

The values printed are now in actually [degrees * 10], but the relevant line of output
still claims degrees.

                 cheers,                m
