There's a very good summary of capacitor marking conventions at: http://xtronics.com/kits/ccode.htm There's some interesting non-obvious conventions to this marking system. Most know that a capacitor marked ABC is equal to AB x 10^C pF. So yours are 56 x 10^0 = 56 pF. Similarly, 562 would be 56 x 10^2 = 5600 pF. So what would 569 be? Not 56 x 10^9 or 56000000000 pF, as you might think, but actually 56 x 0.1 = 5.6 pF. When the third digit is 9 the multiplier is 0.1. When the third digit is 8, the multiplier is 0.01. You'd be surprised how few know that. The J on your caps is the code for the value tolerance in percent. All this is explained on the web site cited above. 73, Mike / KK5f (Sorry this topic isn't about the K3...not!) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
