[Elecraft] Help figuring out missing part

[Rich McCabe]

So I am going to try to pick up a capacitor locally. I am confused by the
value.

If I understand it correctly, the manual says caps marked with two digits
are the value in pf. Three digits markings use the third as a mutliplier.

The manual says its either "27" or "271". In this case wouldnt 27 be 27pF
and 271 be 270pF?

Sorry for the ignorance !
