[Pw_forum] Geneartion of US PP and l channel

Dear QE users,

I am trying to generate an ultrasoft pseudopotential for Pt, I was 
trying to start using one of the pseudowavefunctions (the 5d one) as a 
local angular momentum component, but in the output I found the message 
that I need to specify two channel per l number. So I tried to add 3 
more pseudostates, getting an input like the one shown below, but I get 
a null 6s orbital (I can see in the ld1.wfc plot) and, of course, a 
buggy output.
What I am doing wrong? How can in define the right l channels?
Thanks for your help.

Aldo
