OK where can I buy a 330pf cap? Its only a 25 watt rig but I would like a
bit of overkill.
****es me off that Radio Shack is a cell phone store now. I used to be able
to walk into Radio Shack and the person there would understand what you
needed. Now if it does not have to do with cell phones or car audio they
just give you this dumb look..

Thanks
Joe

vertical without having to cut it.

I did exactly this (20 years ago). I used a variable compression trimmer
capacitor to check that I could actually get a low SWR, measured it, and
fitted the nearest value disc ceramic (rated at 500VDC). I think it was
330pF. No problems with 40W.
