[evlatests] K-band compression?

At this band, the contribution for Taurus A is quite small -- only
~10K, due to the small primary beam. This is only a ~15% change in
system power, so we should not expect to see much 'PDif Compression' --
and we don't -- but there are some notable exceptions. I list here only
those antennas for which a significant compression was observed.
Frequencies tuned were 19.4 and 25.4 GHz on the BD and AC sides,
respectively.
ea09, B and D: 98
ea11 B and D: 95
ea14 B and D: 96
ea15 B and D: 99
ea16 B and D: 97
ea17 B and D: 97
ea18 B and D: 97
ea20 B and D: 96
ea22 B and D: 97
ea27 B 98
ea28 B and D: 98
No discernible compression was seen on the AC side. This was set to
the higher frequency, where the power increment from the source is much
less.
