The diode limiter is to protect the C channel from getting burned out due to connecting a transmitter to it, etc. You don't need the limiter if you aren't worried about this. The detector gates off the counter when there is insufficient signal to count reliably. The detector is imperfect, and the counter may read garbage anyway, or may be blanked on a signal that would be countable. For the average time nuts user, you can leave out both of these "features" with no harm. I had to design them in for "marketing" reasons.
