Don't know what diodes were spec'd in the FM3Zone kit. I've successfully used 1N5711 in that app. 1N5711 is a 70V / 15mA Schottky device so forward drop is on order of 0.4 V or thereabouts and similar to germanium in that regard. They're in a leaded DO41 pkg so should drop in w/o mods. You could also try 1N34A. This is an old style germanium part that is no longer current but shows up occasionally at the usual antique radio parts sources like AES.
Second the 1N5711's - has about the lowest forward voltage from silicon and is much more rugged
Steve O, thanks so much for the info. I have just ordered 10ea from Digi-Key.
It is the last thing left to do.
