Thanks much Bruce...very helpful info. And I forgot about those diode mixers
in the rx front end. 1N34? Was that the one?

1N60. Looked like a little white ceramic 22-cal cartridge. You could
pull off the big end and have two pins to plug into some UHF
applications. In the radar receivers, it plugged right into the
waveguide, 1/4 wavelength from the end of the receiver cavity,
protected by a gas tube that fired and shorted out the RF while the
transmitter was on the air.
