[Elecraft] Diode testing

[Don Wilhelm]

Jacques,

It is the cathodes (the end with the stripe) that are common, the anodes are
separate.
Did you actually measure the cathode end? Or are the diodes installed
backwards?
These two diodes switch the bandpass filter input from receive to transmit.

73,
