The General Radio 874-VQ is a "voltmeter detector" with two GR-874 connectors for the signal, and either a GR-874 or a BNC connector for the rectified output. It was introduced in Catalog O (1956) and remained available through Catalog 1973, after which only the 874-VQL version with locking connectors remained in the catalog.

The 874-VQL is used in frequency-response measurements with a 1750-A Sweep Drive and 1263-A Amplitude Regulating Power Supply. An 874-VI Voltmeter Indicator can be used for calibrated measurements from 0.1 to 2 V.

The 874-VQ contains a 1N23B diode and a mica capacitor. It is similar to the 874-VR Voltmeter Rectifier, but omits the latter's 50 Ω series resistor, and includes matching elements to compensate for the discontinuity caused by the diode capacitance.
