I'd like to thank all of those who offered suggestions regarding
"relative power idicators" for my link-coupled antenna tuner project.
Now I have another question. The schematic I'm following for the tuner
calls for a 1700 pf capacitor, in series to ground, on the input link.
I have a 4000 ph vacuum cap that I could use. However, it's big and
heavy. I also have a 500 pf vacuum cap that's light and small. I
realize I could add fixed capacitance in parallel to achieve the correct
value.
My question is: Would "doorknob" caps be a good choice for this added
capacitance? If so, any particular type?
