Joe,

  The bandwidth of the two is affected by the same filter
bandwidth controlling voltage, V XFIL2, on an MV209 diode.
I wonder how it varies with the bandwidth of the five using
1SV149 diodes.
  I see also that there is a mysterious (to me, I don't see
where it goes) IF out via C181 that is indeed after only the
first five crystals.
