no way of knowing there was a G11. The reason I became embroiled in this is because after my inventory, I ended up with six .001 capacitors and no designations for them. G11 fixes that problem. I did not mean to cause any confusion here. 73 Stan Levandowski WB2LQF HF QRP CW -- Doing more with less

XB. I thought there might be some photos on the Elecraft Website but either there's none there, or I didn't look in the right place. Thanks! Stan Levandowski WB2LQF HF QRP CW -- Doing more with less for over 50 years! QCWA #35038 OOTC #4558 NAQCC #4740 SKCC #6488 FISTS #(Pending
