RE: [Elecraft] Counter probe and RF probe assembly
Found it. Forgot about the RF bag. Thanks to all that pointed the way!

RE: [Elecraft] Counter probe and RF probe assembly
Jess, The 10 pf axial cap is in the Frequency Probe envelope - it is less than 1/8 inch in diameter and just a wee bit longer than it is round - leads coming out the ends. Capacitors are usually not color coded - that other object you have colored brown-black-brown is likely a subminiature 100 uH inductor. 73, Don W3FPR > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jess Gypin > Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2005 3:19 PM > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Subject: [Elecraft] Counter probe and RF probe assembly > > > > Can someone tell me what the 10pF axial lead capacitor looks like for the > counter probe?

RE: [Elecraft] Counter probe and RF probe assembly
C1 is a regular old brown "103" cap. It's not "axial" at least as I understand the word. It's always possible I'm looking at the wrong part or I got it wrong, too. But I remember being stumped at the same point you are until I found this particular capacitor. I think it was in the same envelope with the rest of the probe parts.

I have looked through all of the caps that I have sorted and cannot find an axial lead cap that is obvious. Is this cap in a package that looks like a resistor or inductor? I have to very small beige "resistor" looking parts that are color coded Brown-black-Brown and the other is Grn-Brn-Grn-Gld. I am sure that the one with 4 bands is a resistor, but not sure about the other 3 band piece. Sorry for the stupid questions, but I am used to the "normal" packaging of caps and I see no axial lead caps anywhere in the ones that I have. The only other one that I have that looks suspect is the cardboard mounted ceramic orange cap that has a "1" on the face, but I am sure that it is a 1uF and not 10 pF? What do you think?
