Hi Eric,
The printing on the diode is not real crisp. It looks like 1N5 then
358. Is possible that 2 and 8/B (the last position on both lines
respectively) has a bad silkscreen? The 8 could be either an 8 or a B
very easily. I talked to Scott last Friday and asked him to ship me a
new D3 and L15. I hope that they will arrive today or tomorrow.
Bottom line... the part in question was not clear. Support is sending
me a replacement to make sure that we are 100% certain on the part.
The support from the Elecraft has been great so this is NOT a big deal
in my book.
Thanks, JH

All of the parts match except for this one diode. Is the 1n5358 a
replacement/equivalent part? I don't see this listed in the errata
notes nor can I confirm/deny on the internet that they are
interchangeable parts.
