I'll try my hand at modeling the device and post my results on these
newsgroups and on the LTspice list. It would be helpful if, when you
make a suggestion, you state where and how it fails to match up with
claimed data sheet performance.

How about the AD608 mixer IF chip? AFAIK none of those have decent
Spice models. The SA614 sure doesn't. (That's one of my faves--I use
it all over the place.)

The AD8014 model is really, really bad.
