Because they often "won't" do. P-N devices carefully selected for this
application still aren't as linear as PIN devices, don't have as much isolation
when turned off, and often won't work well down at lower frequencies like 160
meters, which is the most challenging application.

Thanks, Lon, k5jv, for the work on PIN diodes that you reported.. Makes me
think the same thing, why pay for the $$ diodes if silicon power rectifiers
will do?
