I've looked at three diode types today (Schottky, germanium and silicon) to see how they might perform in a simple RF probe over the range 2-21 MHz.

The details are at http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/diodes_for_rf_probes.htm

Rankings are (no surprises here) germanium first, Schottky in the middle and silicon bringing up the rear.
