Boonton RF Probes; Diode Replacement
In the past, there has been some discussion of the "magic diodes" apparently used in the Boonton and some other makes of RF probes.
This discussion on their replacement is interesting;

The Boonton voltmeter used some kind of mechanical chopper on the output from the probe; is there some nice semi-conductor device that could replace that now?
