2.2.3.2 Parameter bandname

The bandname indicates the VLA Frequency band(s) to load, using the traditional bandname codes. These are:

’4’ = 48-96 MHz
’P’ = 298-345 MHz
’L’ = 1.15-1.75 GHz
’C’ = 4.2-5.1 GHz
’X’ = 6.8-9.6 GHz
’U’ = 13.5-16.3 GHz
’K’ = 20.8-25.8 GHz
’Q’ = 38-51 GHz
’’ = all bands (default)

Note that as the transition from the VLA to JVLA progresses, the actual frequency ranges covered by the bands will expand, and additional bands will be added (namely ’S’ from 1-2 GHz and ’A’ from 26.4-40 GHz).
