Pointing Wednesday night was a big help. I now consider the antenna
usable at all the outfitted band: L, C, X and K. Delays and focus
are good, as is pointing. K band collimation has not yet been
registered to X band, so referenced pointing may not work as well
as hoped. That will be taken care of next week.
I expect to do a proper X band pointing run next week the night of
the double maintenance days.
The C band receiver seems to have a high system temperature. The FE
group is investigating.
It may have been repaired by now, but Thursday the T5/T6 for IF D
was misbehaving causing a lower than expected amplitude on all
baslines with ea03. The symptom I saw was that the ALC did net
peg at -1 v. when the power level was decreased.
I think the antenna is usable for astronomical observing.
