[Milsurplus] ARB Antenna capacitor

[Mike Feher]

Not exactly Hue. "Suckout" happens when to circuits are connected to each
other and are both resonant at the same frequency. Like in the case of
multiple receivers in parallel fed by the same antenna. If some were tuned
to the same frequency, there would be considerable attenuation observed in
both. The capacitor could have been inserted to minimize coupling between
receivers, hence minimize the effects of "suckout". As Mike H. was saying, I
too am only speculating. While "suckout" is real, I am just speculating that
the capacitors were there to minimize the effect. 73 - Mike

Yes, i think that's along the lines of what i was thinking. WIth all the 

additional capacitance to ground otherwise seen right at the ARB 

antenna.
