The 6JH8 should work as well as the 7360 in a receiver mixer.
Swan changed to the 6JH8, probably for cost reasons.

I've tried both, and the 7360 wins by a long way - it probably proves
that "you get what you pay for"! The 7360 gave me useful conversion gain,
a spectacularly high intercept, and as low a noise figure as you could ever
wish for.
