Why were C13, C17 and C20 not populated to begin with? ?The cost could not have been that much? ?There are no drawbacks for adding? ?I see you suggested 33pf whereas walker used 22pf; any reason for the difference??
Thank you for your time, ? ? ? ? ?larry
Larry,
? I happened to have 22pf smd capacitors in my capacitor kit but no 33pf's.? The 22pf's worked for me so any any value close to 33pf will probably work.? I think it was only after user's questioned Erik about the 48MHz spurs that he tried installing the 33pf capacitors and realized that they were useful.? hugen probably started installing the capacitors on later production runs at Erik's suggestion.
