Due to the age of my Macbook Pro I am using 31DEC15 AIPS with Mac
OS X 10.6.8. I am working on a VLBA observation from uz001a and
following the steps in Appendix C of the AIPS Cookbook. I have run
VLBALOAD, VLBAFIX, VLBAEOPS, VLBATECR, VLBACCOR and
VLBAPCOR. The phases on 3C84 after VLBAPCOR do not look to have
improved much.

The attached plot crpl-ccor-6cm-if3-5.ps shows the result from
VLBACRPL for a segment of the 3C84 data before the pulse-cal
calibration. After running VLBAPCOR the phases do not look
much better. They seem to wrap very rapidly. Attached plot
crpl-pcor-6cm-if3-5.ps shows that 3C84 still has very rapid phase
wraps.

Does this look reasonable to you? Would there be some problem
connected with using 31DEC15? I have also attached the tasav file
uz001a-6cm.tasav. For reference, VLBAEOPS is CL 2, VLBATECR is CL 3,
VLBACCOR is CL 4 and SN 1, and VLBAPCOR is CL 5 and SN 2.
