[TenTec] Corsair vs Corsair II

[GARY HUBER]

The ANZAC mixer is a commonly used where a double balanced mixer is 
required. The Corsair / Corsair-II receiver MAY have used a mixer similar in 
design to one of ANZAC's....

Google (ANZAC mixer)...

There have been several references recently to "AZNAC" (or is it "ANZAC"?)
receiver design.  Can someone please give a short review?  I tried google
but got no useful results.
Thanks and 73

Did the original Corsair employ the "AZNAC" design?
I read that the original Corsair used 4 discrete Schottky diodes in the
mixer and that the Corsair II used 4 monolithic Schottky diodes in the
mixer.

Also, looking at the Sherwood Receiver Test Data on the web, I see it only
lists data for the "Corsair" which would I would assume is the original
version (?).

Any insight would be appreciated.  Thanks.
