[ARC5] 100 pFd Caps for 50-Ohm Matching

[David Stinson]

For the one or two people who took my advice about  a simple

100 pFd series cap to match a 3-4MC Command Set (and lots of other 

Aircraft sets) to 50-ohms-  Do not buy these High Voltage caps:

They heat-up and eat power.

 

I've used an orange version of this style with good results:

Also had good results with "doorknobs" like this one :

Similar style at 50pFd for 7MC showed similar results.

 

Sometimes at RF, 100 pFd, ain't.
