[Elecraft] [K2] Diode types for connecting both paddle & straight key

I'm replacing a dead diode in my paddle/key combiner box.  Does it matter at all what types of diodes I use ?  I am thinking maybe I should use something less prone to RF pickup (say 1N4001 or similar) rather than the HP 5082-2835's (small signal schottkys) I had there originally.

cal number across the board. That has me a bit worried. Based on my numbers before as the frequency went up the frequency error went up too. I am not sure that will calibrate out, but I'll give it a shot. Steve, KC8QVO -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/
