Hi Amy,

I've been trying various things to find the source of the error.  I can eliminate the strange jumps in amplitude if I omit the VLBAAMP step (although then my phases don't vary smoothly anymore).  I also tried using the old VLBACALA instead of VLBACCOR and VLBAAMP, but I still get the same amplitude jumps.  So it seems like it has something to do with adding sampler and amplitude corrections to my data.  Wanted to let you know what I found in case that helps id the issue.

Alex
