Hi Rick. Yes, there are 6 antennas outfitted with the MJP 4m
dipoles. They are: ea06, ea10, ea12, ea14, ea18, & ea19. All
6 are identified on the "VLA Antenna Modifications/Retrofits"
table in the "Mods" column, using the "M" designator.
I don't know if it explains your 2nd observation related to fringes,
but it might be noted that the output of the combiner "Sum" side
(0 deg sum) is applied to the R/Y input of the LBR FE. The "Difference"
side (180 deg sum) is applied to the L/X input of the LBR FE.
