It's hard to answer a question that is not asked (but alas I will try).
If your question is "why does the entropy estimate change by 7 kcal/mol
with new radii", I don't have a good answer.
I imagine the second derivatives of the effective radii are more
sensitive to the intrinsic radius set than the effective radii
themselves, which means the normal mode frequencies will probably be
affected by different radius sets more than energies will be. While
this makes conceptual sense to me, the strongest support I have for this
explanation are the results you report here. It could be with more
stringent minimization (i.e., reducing drms to 1e-6 or something) the
difference will decrease. I really don't know for sure.
HTH,
Jason
P.S. -- In the future actually ask a question. The more specific you
can make your question, the easier it will be for us to answer.
