Hi what do you think is the most sensitive diode for the detection of AM signals in the receiver?
This question is not limited to the 1N34/1N60 diodes.  I'm interested in the Schottkey types and anything else out there that is VERY sensitive.
Thanks
Please no $50 a pop wonders.  I'm trying to fill a parts drawer with improved diodes.
