[Icom] Cap Question

Wed, 09 Apr 2003 21:13:31 -0600

Hi,
Barrier caps are good for high temp situation like when soldering.
Google search will give you some clue.  If it is in the PA compartment,
voltage rating maybe a concern depending where it is in the circuit.
PIN diode,  I bought  100 pieces at Active electronics when I did my 765 
mod.
Unless you work top band(160/80m), nothing much to gain.
