[Milsurplus] Looking for PIN diodes for a WJ8618

[Ray Fantini]

I have done a little work on WJ stuff and found that most all the RF
switching diodes are just generic RF devices, and are quite prone to
failure. epically when you transmit into the radio!  myself I have
always replaced them with ECG \ NTE 555 or 553 general purpose VHF
switch diodes, also watch out because you may find that some of them are
noisy and ones you feel are ok may generate noise when you think they
are biased off. the indication is that some bands have more background
noise then others, when that radio is working right background noise is
very low, with the antenna disconcerted noise level should be constant
over entire range.
