[Elecraft] Question about C72 270 pf capacitor on the K2 RF board

[James M Wiedle]

After inventorying my K2 kit I found that it was missing C72 which is
listed as a "NPO 270 pf" capacitor. I've made contact with Elecraft but
am going to have to wait at least 5 days for a reply because of the
holidays. So, I took a trip to my electronics store and found a variety
of capacitors, including a NPO 270 rated at 1000v which was a little too
big for the mounting hole but no other ceramic NPO 270pf's that were
100v.  I did notice other capacitors including the mylar, tanalum (sp)
versions but wasn't sure if this was an appropriate component to
substitute. Any ideas as to what other type of capacitor besides an NPO
ceramic would be a suitable replacement? Course, I could always wait for
elecraft to put it in the mail!
 
Thanks;
