No Rich, using disc capacitors in power supplies is no joke. Disc capacitors
across hi voltage diodes + rf chokes in series and decoupling the mains
lead is to keep rf out of the diodes. Noise generated by the diodes
modulate the final and one gets wide band noise around the transmitted
signal. This goes also for switched power supplies. On 2 meters and
listening at a distance of a few kilometers there is a lot of garbage using
a IC 706 + a switched mode PS35.
Driving a linear and using a high gain beam makes the situation even worse.
