Didn't you
get my reply?
Hi John,
Is the damaged cap an electrolytic?? If so, it's value
probably is (was. . .) 10MF.?
At pointed out in first of my articles, the 1N4005
"reverse protection diode" is essentially worthless since
under revered polarity it will probably blow (open up)
before the fuse blows resulting in a number of things
being blown in the rig.? So -- I am afraid that you have
more to deal will than just a beheaded cap -- like the
output IRF510 (and who knows what else).? All I can say is
"good luck" . . .
72/73,

I'm trying to
help out a friend with his QRP Plus rig.? Power was applied in
reverse polarity and it blew C41 on the XMTR board.? It looks like
a tantalum cap but it was mostly destroyed so there is no way to
determine the value from looking at it.
