Though there has been a modification developed that addresses this issue, it involves the replacement of 24 band switching diodes.
2.
It is one of the most popular and long-lived switching diodes because of its dependable specifications and low cost.
3.
Each transmitter antenna was fed by its own power amplifier using travelling wave tubes with switching diodes and striplines performing the delays.
4.
The part is still obtainable but if you are having trouble I have used BAT49 small-signal Schottky diode in a similar role as a fast switching diode in recent designs and I am sure it will be just fine here . ( TERMINOLOGY WARNING-any " recent design " that I had a hand in is going to be at least twenty five years old ).
