I have a Drake MN2700 so I can at least get the amp to work above
1870Khz during contests. The tuner used some fixed flat 150pf 5KV
capacitors to switch in from the front selector as increased
capacity is need to make the tuner work. I can't find any door knob
substitutes at that value in my junk box. I am thus looking for a
source for these values but so far have not found anything that I
can use as a substitute. I presume I could make some out of sections
of RG-8 mini roller up in a coIl but before I try this I am
searching for a door knob source. I have some 500pf at 5KV and
three of them in series might be close enough but i still need the
correct values. If any reader to this knows of other ATU
manufactures that use the copper teflon flat capacitor in their
units maybe could order 150 pf 5KV from them.
Your help on this would be appreciated.
