Re: [Elecraft] K2 - Extra capacitor "2.7C"
Hello David, In professional Morse I have often heard R used as a . (dot) in number notation. Hence 2R7 on a capacitor is most likely 2.7 pF. 73, Roelof Bakker, pa0rdt -- Mijn Postvak In wordt beschermd door SPAMfighter. 305 spam-mails zijn er tot op heden geblokkeerd.

"2R7 is 2.7.The R is used as a decimal point. Don K7FJ My parts list, along with the PDF version, says the value of "C22" is "pF)". Something has obviously been cutoff. However, the "Description" for "C22" reads "NPO, "2R7", "3", "3.3", or "3R3". No reference to 2.7 at all. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 - Extra capacitor "2.7C"
Ok, this has been resolved. Thanks for all replies. It has been pointed out to me that "2R7" is 2.7. I still need to let Elecraft know about the typo in the Rev. G manual. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] K2 - Extra capacitor "2.7C"
I just installed the last of the capacitors into the RF board. I happen to have a couple extra caps but I am also missing one cap. The missing cap is the 3.3 pF cap for C22 on the RF board. One of the extra caps is labeled "2.7C". I did a search of the PDF manual and cannot find a "2.7" cap anywhere in the K2 manual. The other extra cap is an 821. I should only have two 821's (C4 and C6). I have verified that C4 and C6 have the correct caps installed. Anyone have any ideas what this "2.7C" could be?
