As far as replacing electrolytic capacitors on the k2 can the voltage =
ratings vary?  Ie most are rated for 25V but some are 16V or even =
50V(ssb board).  Would it be ok to replace a 50V cap with a 25V?  Or =
vice versa?  I thought you just basically double the voltage that will =
be in the circuit. =20

Also if you replaced a 25V with a 300V cap same value what would happen =
would it still work?  Im puttin in caps in a new radio (k2) but I got =
all 25V caps cause I forgot to write down the Vratings and I could not =
find them in the parts listing in the manual I had.  Should I get the =
correct V ratings or is it ok to sub a Different V rating?

as always you guys are the best! thanks
