They consist of 5-cell, 1497 MHz cavities with waveguide-type power coupler and for higher-order modes. Most of the cavities rf tests in a vertical cryostat at 2.07 K were limited by strong multipacting at accelerating gradients in the range 18 - 23 MV/m. A softer multipacting barrier was sometimes found at 13 - 15 MV/m. An unusual feature of the multipacting was that the barrier often shifted to a lower gradient ~17 MV/m, after multiple quenches at ~20 MV/m. This phenomenon was reproduced in a single-cell cavity of the same shape. The cavity was tested after different amounts of mechanical tuning and residual magnetic field, with no significant impact to the multipacting behavior. This contribution summarizes the experimental results from cavity rf tests, some of which were complemented by additional diagnostic instrumentation. Results from 2D and 3D simulations are also presented, indicating favorable conditions for multipacting at the equator in the range 20 - 29 MV/m.}}, }
