I don't know if we're talking about the same diode. The broken diode is not in the bridge used to measure fwd/rfl power.
I'm talking about D3, connecting the output of the buffer op-amp U2A to the RFDET/DATA pin on P2. I don't know what it's for (what is RFDET/DATA ? I don't have the K1 schematics right here). I suppose I'll use a low-drop schottky, like 1N5711, thanks to everyone for the advice 73, matthias HB9EGM Tom Hammond wrote: > Matthias: > >> The 1N34 diode on my KAT has its glass broken.
