I've noted earlier that antenna 21, IF 'A' is slow to provide
fringes when a band is changed. This was based on tests done at L, S,
C, and X bands.
Further testing (for other purposes) shows that (as expected), the
problem is common to all bands. The duration of non-fringing is
variable -- from as short as a few seconds to well over one minute. No
other IF is affected.
One other signature -- when the fringes are absent, I note that a
small pulse of fringe power (not of full amplitude) is seen once ever
ten seconds, always on a time ending in '7' (i.e., at 07, 17, 27, 37,
etc.) seconds.
Sounds like a station board issue ...
