[Elecraft] xv222 - Diode Issue - CORRECTION

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

CORRECTION - My last email was in error. (Our manufacturing department 
misunderstood my question on this.)

We are NOT shipping 1N5238 diodes in the XV222 kit.

The correct part for D3 is the 1N5235B. We just checked and this is the 
part for D3 packed in our current stock of XV222 kits.

John - Could you be misreading the markings on the diode? The 1N5235B is 
marked with "52" on one line and "35B" on the second line. ("B" as in 
"Boy") It is possible you are reading the "B" as an "8". If not, let me 
know and we'll get you the correct part.

I apologize for the confusion on this.

73, Eric   WA6HHQ
