John, I will go back and try to redo this series without the channel->priv addition as the calibration data is band specific so in reality there should be no need to have a private section per channel for calibration that I can see so far. Additionally as Johannes has pointed out to me we should be able to index into our own tables for whatever private data later once we have a static declaration of the channels. Luis
