I have a pair of Dunestar 600's. Have you asked Ron for the component values ? Alternatively, open up your Dunestar and record the capacitor values. They aren't painted over, or any other camouflage to keep their value a secret.

Has anyone had experience repairing Dunestar 600 filters?  I have a couple of 
them and occassionally a band will go out during or after a contest.
I have sent them back for repair and that works fine but it gets a little 
costly and inconvenient.

I suspect the problem is blown caps on particular bands but I can't seem to 
find the specs for replacement capacitors.

Specifically, I am wondering if anyone knows the values of the capacitors used 
in the Dunestar 600 (value, type, and voltage rating) and where I might find 
them.

I vaguely recall that there was an upgrade to these caps recommended somewhere.

Please respond either on or off the list.

Thanks!
