At this band, Taurus A provides 15 to 20 K in additional system
temperature. So the increment is not very large.
Most antennas show very minor PDif compression, but there are a few
notable exceptions. The BD IF pair are in general less compressed than
AC -- probably because it was tuned to a higher frequency (16.7 GHz, vs
13.1) At this frequency, the Ku-band primary beam is ~ the same size as
the source.
