I'm processing my CABB 16cm data.
After I copy the bandpass solution to the program source and run PGFLAG, I realise some channels have been flagged. Is this because there is no bandpass solution towards those channels?
Thanks!

Re: some channels flagged after applying bandpass
Hi Xiaohui,
You are correct. If a channel is flagged for all visibilities on the bandpass calibrator, then a bandpass solution will not be produced for that channel, and no dataset using that bandpass solution will be able to use that channel.
You can get around this though by using options=interpolate in mfcal. This will try to determine - via a spline fit - a bandpass value for those channels with no good data.
