>Can anyone summarize the differences between the NE602 and the NE612?

A note from a Signetics engineer in Technical Correspondence or Hints & Kinks
in QST within the past year or two mentioned in passing that the NE612
was a lower-performance version of the NE602. If you look carefully at the data
sheets, you'll notice that the NE612 has lower gain (figure 11 on both sheets),
by about 4 dB.

Keep a look-out for the NE602A, which has an improved intercept point.
