Jeremy,
Your first link resulted in an error 404, but the 2nd showed a diode
that I believe may be a specialty version. It was highly overpriced at
over $11 each. The Aligent data sheet for the 1N5711 shows it to be a
15 ma device.
You would do better to order from Elecraft. Order E560004 - Diode,
1N5711, small glass body from [email protected]. Order 2 of them (or
possibly 4 since you do not yet know the status of those in the KPA100).
An alternate source is "The Toroid King" http://www.partsandkits.com.
Diz prices his 1N5711 diodes at 10 for $2 (plus shipping).
I have purchased those diodes from Diz for a long time - never a problem.
Yes, those test results are not valid unless the KAT100 was in CAL - in
any other setting there would have been L and C elements active, and the
goal is to test the wattmeter as the first step.

The diodes I was looking at were 1N5711, but they were either 70V 15mA

I just want to make sure I get one with the proper rating.
I did not have the KAT100 in CAL mode. Guess I'll be redoing the tests and
posting the results shortly.
