xv222 - Diode Issue

Hello fellow builders:

I am building an xv222 transverter. The last step on page 28 is to sort
13 diodes.
1 - 1n5235 (D3)
2 - 1n5711 (D7,D8)
10 - 1n4148 (D1, D2, D3, D13, D6,D12,D9,D14,D15,D16)

I don't have a 1n5235... but there is a 1n5358 in the parts bag. All of
the parts match except for this one diode. Is the 1n5358 a
replacement/equivalent part? I don't see this listed in the errata
notes nor can I confirm/deny on the internet that they are
interchangeable parts.

Please respond to the list and cc me directly. (I get the digest version
of the list so I might not see the response... or in a timely fashion.)

Thanks, JH

Hi John,

The 1N5238 is an equivalent manufacturing substitution for the 1N5235.
Go ahead and use it for D3.

We'll update the XV222 errata to cover this. Sorry for he confusion!

Re: xv222 - Diode Issue - CORRECTION

Administrator

CORRECTION - My last email was in error. (Our manufacturing department
misunderstood my question on this.)

We are NOT shipping 1N5238 diodes in the XV222 kit.

The correct part for D3 is the 1N5235B. We just checked and this is the
part for D3 packed in our current stock of XV222 kits.

John - Could you be misreading the markings on the diode? The 1N5235B is
marked with "52" on one line and "35B" on the second line. ("B" as in
"Boy") It is possible you are reading the "B" as an "8". If not, let me
know and we'll get you the correct part.

I apologize for the confusion on this.
