| - Frequency agility in Effelsberg is limited to those receivers mounted at the secondary focus (0.7, 1.3, 2, 4, 6, 13, 4/13 cm); changing between these receivers takes about 40 secs. All other receivers are mounted at the prime focus, where frequency agility is not possible.\\ Note that observations at 3 mm are only supported during Global 3mm VLBI Array Sessions (see [[http://www3.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/div/vlbi/globalmm]] ).\\ All receivers are dual RHC/LHC polarisation, except 13 cm which is RHC only.
