describes a train of thought.. Am I having an abberation here or will
it work as I intend?.

ie. switch between the IF strip on RX and MOD source on TX and route
relevant signals IN/OUT of the filter and mixer in the correct way.

Obviously blocking C's are not shown

I can't see a receive path from the antenna through the
circuit to the if amp. - looks like the back to back diodes
on the right side of the mixer block the path. On TX,
I can't find a path from the DSB sig to get to the input
of the mixer - the back to back red diodes block that.
