Hi fellow bitxers I misplaced my .1uf cap and am assembling slowly my bitx40.. is this comment required for proper operation on tuning knob or is this something that just improves it's usability/user sanity such as getting rid of clicks..

Wanting to know if it'll survive without it until I get to the parts store to grab a cap or two.

Thanks for the help!

Since I cannot edit I should add I am using a 10 turn pot suggested from back in the analog tune days.?

Should work well enough to bench check it, but I would wait till I got that cap in before transmitting on the air.
The cap reduces noise in the tuning voltage detected by the Raduino, without the cap the frequency will jump around a bit more.
Allard's sketch also reduces the jumping about, best to have the cap plus Allard's sketch.

Thanks for the info.? So in meantime I can put it in and get it all assembled and just add it on later!
