Summary 0000073: There is no noise source step can be seen at 6Y(MFFE-15) at 92cm.
Description This problem appeared before when MFFE-01 was on RT6.
Now it appears again(now the MFFE-15 is on RT6).
Additional Information I have looked at the two calibrator observations which were made by Jurjen yesterday.
The noise source step problem of 6Y appears only when we use FE phase switch. It
is ok without the phase switch.

It seems most likely that the cause of the faulty 6Y noise source step is not in the MFFE(s), but is an error related to phase switching at system level. Hans van der Marel will, from now on, be the principal investigator of this problem.

It is now clear that the noise step problem is caused by the phase switch pattern, which is not symmetric for the noise source 'on' state for 4Y, 5Y, 6Y and 7Y. Albert Bos will solve the problem after the VLBI-period. This action is now set to solved, but will continue with issue # 79: noise source step in 4Y too low
