FREQID
Type: Adverb (Scalar)
Use:  A selection adverb for the calibration tasks.  FREQID is an
      integer pointer to the desired frequency/bandwidth combination of
      data to be selected.  Data written to AIPS after 15APR89 may have
      an associated FQ table (which may be printed with PRTAB or LISTR)
      which contains frequency information relevant to the database, the
      FREQID adverb is a quick way to select the data you require and is
      an alternative to the SELBAND and SELFREQ adverbs. In fact,
      sometimes using the SELBAND/SELFREQ adverbs may result in an
      ambiguity; in which case the tasks will insist that you use FREQID.
