Chris -
I think the 1N5711 is a suitable substitute. It is not a germanium
diode, but rather a Schottky barrier silicon diode - sometimes called a
"hot carrier" diode. Schottky type diodes have low forward drop and
work well for most RF detector applications, and are readily available
and inexpensive.

Diode, but this one is hard to get in my small town.Can I take another one
and which diode should I take?
