In the test run described in the last email, I note that antenna 21,
in IF 'A', is commonly slow to 'lock up' and give fringes. At L, C, and
X bands (antenna 21 doesn't have an S-band receiver), this IF, alone,
often took a minute or more to give good fringes. The problem does not
happen at all band changes, but is notably more prevalent when switching
to X-band (from C-band):
From X to L-band: 2 of 7 scans were affected
From S to C-band: 2 of 6 scans were affected
From C to X-band: all 6 scans were affected.
As implied above, the other IFs for this antenna were not affected
-- they fringed quickly, along with all other antennas.
