[Elecraft] Capacitance values

[Nicholas Lokuciewski]

Hello,

I found this pseudo number line handy

F. xmx,xux,xnx,xpx (Farads, then milli, micro, nano and pico)
0.000,000,000,000

eg you have a 1200pf capacitor, how many uF is that?

Put the 1200 in its place on the line thus:

0.000,000,001,200

Then read of the value with realtion to micro farards (uF)

x.xxx,xx0,001,200

ie 0.0012 uF

I think that works! hi!
