O.k. I will do that shortly.

The vex file (and experiment wiki page which is derived from it) are
*always* the ones to go with. The summary page can never be correct,
as it tries to use a single setup description to cover all stations,
which will only rarely be right for all. 2p-4IF is what the ATNF
antennas using the LBA DAS will do. It's a vaguely useful mnemonic
which Phil includes in the block schedule, but really that summary
line is a hangover from a long gone time when all the LBA stations had
more or less the same equipment.
