I had to replace D36 and D37 once. They are surface-mount, but not too difficult. They're located on the bottom of the main RF board, under the KAT3/KANT3. Concur with Don on suggestion of engaging support for advice... 73/GL, ~iain / N6ML On Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 8:34 AM, Lee Buller wrote

It looks like D36 and D37 on the SWR Bridge on the K3 RF Board are no longer functioning. Kaput. Questions: Where are these diodes located on the board? Are they Surface Mount? If so, can they be changed to "regular" diodes What are the parameters of these diodes? Can I still operate the rig?
