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.

What are the specs for the diodes? I'm seeing 70V 15mA as the common size.
