That seems to be quite a common error... especially easy for us OF's who
grew up KNOWING that when you saw a capacitor marked 820, if meant
820pF...! Of course, nowadays, given the current trends in component
nomenclature marking, 820 implies 82 as the significant digits and the '0'
is to be read as the MULTIPLIER!
I've caught myself making this same error...!!
It's good that you mentioned it, so others can benefit from your experience.
Thanks,
