I can't believe I said that! I need a break. Make that the balanced
modulator, not the prod det. Sorry about that.

| Hi Heathkit fans,
| I read somewhere that audio quality can be improved by substituting
| Schottky hot carrier diodes in the bal mod for the 1N34A's supplied
| by Heath. I went through my junk box and the best I can come up with
| is high speed silicon switching diodes type 1N914. I would thinik
this

the
| pro's and con's.
