 +  -525 Argosy with serial number 0824 or greater has a discrete 4 diode ring (most likley using MBD101 schottky diodes) in the rx mixer. They didn't use PN diodes unlike say the 546 Omni series. 
 +  -All 525D Argosy have a schottky diode quad ring (even though they may have either an Argosy or Argosy II front panel they all have a digital display). 
 +  -Somewhere between serial numbers 01611 and 01810 the 525D got a new plastic front panel with a different name plate (Argosy II).
