QMX+ through hole capacitors


 

I'm in the process of constructing a QMX+ and ran into a discrepancy at C514 and C518. The BOM, schematic and print call for 1200pF caps which should be labelled 122. I can't find them in the kit. Instead I found 2 12pF caps labelled 120.? I can't see any caps of this value anywhere on the BOM.
?
Am I mistaken? I did find one cap in the wrong position early on but corrected my error.?
?
Was there a change in the board or BOM?? Am I just flaky?? If it really is missing caps of the correct value can I obtain replacements from QRP Labs or do I need to order them elsewhere?
?
Thanks for putting up with a noob.

Mea culpa, those two little blue caps actually are marked 122.? I can only blame old eyes and blue components are hard for me to read.

Sorry, folks

If you don't mind me mentioning it, I have gotten incorrect or missing components in kits. It's rare. I ordered a couple of component kits from Amazon. Collections of caps, resistors and transistors are not expensive and are handy to have around.?

I just went through having a resistor kit with (unmarked) 10k¦¸ chip resistors in the 1k¦¸ slot.? I was working on an opamp circuit and it was a real head-scratcher figuring out why my gain was off.
Lesson learned; measure the part before installing it.
