in PICT0007.jpg looking to identify all marked ones. the one I put a D on, the D is the only marking on the component. I think this is a dual diode package for the peak detector.
I loose allot of power at the point of this component. like -25dB. this is suppling the 786.5hz RF to the Mixer (5x that but I can't measure on my 1.5Ghz SA)

the white elements are most likely resistors. you can check with multimeter
the "D" element is most likely HMPP-3890 single schottky diode by Agilent/Avago but are you 100% sure about the marking? sometimes it is tricky to read the labels
seems that all 4 pins of it have been used ??? also for a good temperature compensated peak detector it makes sense to have two diodes in one package but if the marking is only a "D" then I couldn't find anything other than HMPP-3890 which is still applicable...
the element with red dot is what is used to generate 5th harmonic if i remember correctly from previous discussions, so it is probably a diode of some kind.

The White elements do read as resistors of 50 and 125 ohm
for the part with the D marking. see image for best I could get
Using the Diode test here are reading for all 4 pins (see image for pin numbering used) all reading Vdc
1-2 1.3908v/1.447v
3-4 1.6304v/0.1447v
1-3 0.0691c/0.0691v
2-4 1.4398v/1.3723v
for the damaged element
Did multiple checks
Resistance Open
Capacitance 0
Diode open
see image for better view

see the picture for my comments.
are you sure about the diode test voltages? you have a 1.447 and a 0.1447? which one is correct?
what was the test current of your multimeter diode test? 1mA as usual? in that case you are reading 69 ohm between 1 and 3 but I think that's because of the outside resistors forming a loop. I think 1 and 3 are in fact not connected in the device
w.r.t. the discolored component it is definitely a capacitor and it cannot be zero of course. if you want, you need to measure it with a LCR meter
with at least 10KHz or above because it is definitely just a few pF or maybe several 10s of pF
I dont think it is damaged otherwise your TG wouldn't work at all.

both read strange but reading is in-circuit. one reads 24.7K forward and reverse and other is like 30meg forward and reverse. I'll get them out of circuit to test but they are connected to V1/V2

clearly they are not transistors (they are marked by CRxx) and they are definitely diodes. seems to be used for clipping/clamping a signal or a dc voltage (from top and bottom)
use diode test mode not resistance mode in your multimeter ::)

Here are reading for CR1/CR2 Forward and reverse voltages meter set for 15V test
CR1 0.789v/2.773v
CR2 0.789v/2.763v
--- End quote ---
so they are 2.7V zener diodes.
what is your multimeter by the way?

in this case I'm using the eevblog 121GW
on the 2.7 zener though. isn't a 8F a 5.1V zener?
smgvbest:
at peak detector I did have a typo
this is the correct value
1-2 1.3908v/0.1447v
in PICT0042-1.jpg
the Cap did clean up as seen and the LCR at 10Khz says 9.65pF
smgvbest:
Would this be of any value in doing.
my Rigol 815 only goes to 1.5Ghz.
I need to look at signals up to 6hgz (LO)
I go have a Divide by 4 that's good up 8Ghz
what if I ran my probe into the /4 then into the SA. adjust reference to give good readings
The 3.92Ghz would come out at 981.875Mhz if present.
I would also be able to see the LO sweeping
I know its not ideal but working with what I have would that be useful to do?
