Steve, Virtually any diodes should work in this setting. If you have volts of RF on your straight key/paddle/computer keying lines, the change to a conventional silicon diode with its slightly higher offset voltage won't give you any freedom from false triggering. Are you experiencing RF feedback issues with your existing setup?
I've used 1N4148 diodes in my K2/10 computer keying line without problem for several years, but that's only because I had an abundance of them in my parts bin. 73, Mike, K8CN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-Diode-types-for-connecting-both-paddle-straight-key-tp7575425p7575474.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
