[Elecraft] K2 - no TX power problem -- D36 WANTED in Germany!!!

[G3VVT at aol.com]

Hi Gerhard,
 
The IN4007 is available worldwide, so should be available in Germany. In  the 
UK they are widely retailed at 6 to 15 cents in Euros.
 
Not come across the UF4007 before though possibly a Seimens or similar  
branding of the same item?
 
The correct item for D36 I believe is HP PIN diode 5082-3081. These  are more 
difficult to source in the UK, though I have bought HP diodes in the  past 
from Mainline Electronics at Leicester. They list another surface mounted  PIN 
diode type HSMP-3810 as being similar.
 
The item I received with my K2 kit in May appeared to be marked  338 3081.
 
Possibly better to cut your losses and order a replacement direct from  
Elecraft which could normally be delivered to you within 7 days by airmail. An  
e-mail to Scott at Elecraft should give you the prompt answer on cost.
 
Regards,
Bob, G3VVT
