[Amps] caps across rectifier diodes

I took a look at my Emtron amp ps board and they also add a cap across
the P600M diodes.  Thus several amp ps manufactures feel it is a
requirement to place a cap across each diode.

Sorry? ... on the contrary.
I believe the answer from the archives is "capacitors prevent RF from
being rectified in the diodes, and generating harmonics."
