Agreed.

In V/UHF slugs, the diode is a UHF germanium type and I've had good success 
replacing it with a low barrier shottky. In these slugs, there's a series 
resistor for cal, typically 25-30k. Even though it's variable, the voltage 
drop will tend to iron out small differences between diodes.

Is there any series resistance in the hf slug? At a wild guess, the cal might 
be done with the position of the ferrite while the glue is wet?
