I don't think so.  Beyond being probably out of production.  Specs don't seem 
to be anything special.

Is there anything sacred about a 1N295?  Is it like most silicon or germanium 
diodes, whichever the case may be?  Not complaining, just curious since I have 
others on hand.

Thanks/73

  Hi to the group,
  On an MN4c antenna tuner.
  Well I have now had my first ever diode (a 1N295) that was a partial open ??  
and another shorted ?
  under load  BTW all of the components checked good even with the board out of 
circuit and the 68 ohm lifted

  MN4C that maxed out on the pot would only show 47 Watts and rallign on the 
null would only let it go to 60 W. when in fact three other meters (including a 
Bird) said my TR5 was a flat 90 W.

  A big thank you to Chuck W3CVD who supplied a replacement pair and that did 
do the trick.
  .
  In any case 1N295's are available through Surplus Sales of Nebraska @ $2 each 
plus shipping. www.surplussales.com
  A second source is apparently   www.4starelectronics.com
  Thank you to the list responders. 
  73's to all.   Carl Hibbard  WD8NHK
