The SST (Switch Stress Test) gives good data on 'hopping antennas'
-- those which change phase upon scan changes. These are easily found
by plotting Phase(IF1 - IF2).
The only 'hopping antenna' is antenna 12, which is hopping at all
bands. It is clear that the hops are in IFPair2 (IFs B and D), and not
in IFPair 1.
There is a remarkable difference between X-band, and all other
bands: In X-band, there is only a single 'hop'. All other bands show
big hops on every scan.
