TopBand: MLA 2500 improvements

[George.Guerin@kellogg.com (George Guerin)]

     For Tom, W8JI
     
     Dear Tom,   I notice the MLA 2500s have only a 500 pf 20KV plate 
     blocking capacitor.   I also note many other amps without 160 have a 
     1000 pfd plate blocking cap and many other amps with 160 have anywhere 
     from 1500 to 3000 pfd plate blocking cap.
     
     Would padding or upsizing the plate blocking cap hurt the tuning on 80 
     or 160?  I am concerned about the 200 ohms reactance from the single 
     500 pf capacitor.
     
     Thanks your reply, direct to me @ george.guerin@kellogg.com
     
     I am not presently hooked to the topband server.
     
     George, K8GG
