A lot of folks have reported good results using the 6JH8 in place

to be pretty much the same as far as performance. Have you tried
one?

Yes I have. The results were disappointing compared to the 7360. Perhaps
my values weren't optimised. Maybe I should try again - the 6JH8 is
/much/
cheaper!

Yeah, and I had a shot at a sleeve of them for 60 bucks several months
back Unfortunately, they aren't going to get any less expensive as
time passes.

Also check out this link, good info on the 7360 as a mixer.

Seems the 7360 performance is poor with IF's above 1mhz.
