[Elecraft] K2: C222 Capacitor Substitution OK?

[Don Wilhelm]

Jon,

You can use the larger capacitor under 3 conditions.  1) The capacitance 
is the same, 2) The voltage rating is as high or higher (I believe the 
small blue ones are rated at 50 volts), and 3) You can make it fit 
physically without resorting the long leads - C222 is used at 21 MHz.

73,
