I would tend to agree with the assessment that the SRD is not a high failure rate item. Also, it could experience a faux failure where the fixturing of it corroded such that it was not making good electrical contact any more, but the underlying diode was still good. Cleaning up the contact area could fix that.
If the SRD truly failed, the only way to get a replacement would be to cannibalize another 5065. I also agree with the other comment that replacing the whole RF chain would be a major undertaking, having designed several RF chains. Rick N6RK On 10/22/2020 10:06 AM, [email protected] wrote:
Ulf, I have never had a 5065A with a bad or malfunctioning step recovery diode in the physics package. MANY other problems are more likely the cause.
