Trying to change out a SMD part on a DXpedition is not easy. In my
case I am not sure that D25 is the problem. Sure I could pull that part
out only if I had thought to order some and bring along along with the
proper tools to resolder a tiny part.
I am asking for a simple field solution such as a socket where you can
insert or remove a diode, etc or even a complete protection module for a
reasonable price that could be simply removed and a new one plugged in.

from home like many of us do it could be a nice feature.

I replaced that diode in my K3 with instructions from an Elecraft
technican-person. I also at the point purchased bandpass filters so that I
didn't have to worry about that happening again.
