Looking for info on beam-deflection tube mixers

[michael silva]

Hi all,

I'm thinking out my next project, a portable CW transceiver, and I'd
like to know what you all know about using beam-deflection tubes (not
the 7360 due to its cost, but I've got some 6ME8s floating around) as
mixers and detectors.  What exactly are the advantages in both mixer
and detector service?  I gather that they are fairly quiet -- true?
Any other reason to use or not use them in either circuit application?

73,
Mike, KK6GM
