Thanks for the info and advice Pete. I recently saw a comment that
standard 1N4002 type (60 Hz) diodes are actually good replacements for
the PIN diodes on the front-end band pass switching networks. Have you
heard of this?

If you can stick with PIN diodes.

They give better isolation when reverse biased that other types.
