[Elecraft] KAT100 Tuning Failure

[Don Wilhelm]

Jeremy,

Do not order alternatives for use in the wattmeters.  Use only 1N5711s 
if you want the best voltage response vs. frequency.
Those parameters are not specified.  Elecraft chose those diodes long 
ago based on testing for that frequency response.
If you are looking for alternatives, and do not care about the readings 
obtained at lower power levels (QRP), then you could use 1N4148 diodes 
which are plentiful.
