The importmiriad task in CASA versions 4.4 and earlier contain a bug such that they are unable to read in certain kinds of (mixed-frequency) Miriad data. The issue showed up with a CABB data set containing four IFs from L/S band (1 and 3 in continuum, 2 and 4 in multiple-channel zooms) and two IFs f...

The references to tables and figures are strange. See section 1.2: Figure 1 is labeled as "Figure 1" in the figure caption, but in the text it is "Figure atcatrack" where "atcatrack" is the link. Table 1.1 is labeled as Table 1.1 in the table caption, but in the text it...

(I have moved this bug report to the appropriate topic thread.)

Section 2.1.2 of the Users Guide mentions a cycle ("Frequencies within any particular band can be changed every cycle if so desired, however there is an overhead of two cycles as the request for LO frequency changes propagates through the system.") but does not explain what this cycle is ...
