I agree with Lyle's discussion on this. The reason for using 1N5711s is
to get low power accuracy. If you are running high power only, then you
probably could get by with 1N4148s in the directional coupler,
sacrificing low power operation.
If you really want to replace them today, you could pr

The 1N5711 is a Shottky barrier diode; the
These are used in the directional coupler of the K2, KPA, and KAT-100. I have
lost these to ESD more than once. Several questions;
