Broken Capacitor right behind mike connector


 

I got the kit Saturday and found a broken cap. When they ship these kits they should pay more attention in packaging this kits to limit damage to the kits. My question is now how do I replace the part when I don't know the value of the part? Anybody know. C120 is the cap that is broken


 

You will find the value of the components in the wiring diagram: http://www.hfsigs.com/bitx40v3_circuit.html

You can find out the part value by looking at the schematic. I just looked on the schematic and it shows it to be a 1000pF cap. It's tied to the base of Q12.

Next where to get one without having to order 100 of them?

Radio Shack sells them 2 for $1.30, Debco Electronics sells them 25 for $2, Tayda Electronics sells 100 for $1.00 (they have a US distribution warehouse) or send me an SASE and I'll give you one. I'm ok in QRZ.com. These won't be SMT, but you an still use them. If you need SMT's, Digikey sells them for about $0.67 each.

10D0p. I believe the D is tolerance. 10 picofarad?

I have some 0805 SMD caps in 1000pF. If these will work for you send me a PM with address and I'll send a couple your way.

PS - it is possible to solder 0805s across 1206 pads; touchy but doable. FYI
