So I am going to try to pick up a capacitor locally. I am confused by the value.
If I understand it correctly, the manual says caps marked with two digits are the value in pf. Three digits markings use the third as a mutliplier. The manual says its either "27" or "271". In this case wouldnt 27 be 27pF and 271 be 270pF? Sorry for the ignorance ! Rich > Yes, I would think so too.
