    At C-band, the two subbands were tuned to 4440 and 6690 MHz.  The 
flux density from Taurus A at 6000 GHz is about 610 Jy, (more than twice 
Cygnus A).   The observed antenna temperature from Taurus A was close to 
60K -- close to tripling the total system temperature. 
    PDif compression is seen in nearly all antennas -- and there are two 
antenna-IFs with very clear PDif *expansion*.

    ea23, in the 2nd IF (B and D), has PDif and PSum values about 1% of 
the expected level.
