Modifications to the Parkes interferometer are described which allow synthesis observations to be made while still retaining the flexibility of frequent baseline changes. Details are given of the receiver with a phase stabilizing device and its performance, on-line computer control, and data processing. Preliminary observations with a resolution of l' of the two sources PKS 2152-69 and 2356-61 and possible optical identifications are discussed briefly.
