[Hammarlund] blocking capacitor

[Robert Sauvan]

Hi all,
Still moving forward with the newly fixed HQ-180. Have had some 
encouraging comments on the alignment procedure. Along with finding that 
there are some manuals indicating wrong alignment settings. My manual 
looks to be correct thank goodness.  A couple of comments were made as 
to needing a blocking capacitor on my signal generator which the 
generator manual also calls for. What am I supposed to use? Should it be 
a .001 mfd,, or .01 mfd. Am I even close to my guess? What type of cap 
does it need to be or is that not critical? I assume I can just solder 
an alligator clip on one end and hook the signal generator on the other 
end and I should be good to go. Correct?

Thanks-Bob-W0YBS
