[Amps] SB 200 problem

[RAY FRIESS]

I like the suggestion of cannablizing an old SWR meter ...    Have several junked CB ones that might provide a useable diode or two Date: Fri, 4 May 2012 09:14:35 -0700

With a slight reduction in readings.  Using a Schottky diode would be a better approach.  I would replace both diodes in the SWR bridge with like diodes just to keep some semblance of accuracy. Glen, K9STH

If it turns out to be a bad diode, and I cant gind a germanium, can I use a regular power supply type diode to replace it?
