Default Help with Eddystone 640

Hi,

Does anybody know the PF ratings for the BFO and phasing variable capacitors in the Eddystone 640?

I believe some of our members have answered Tim's query on the EUG forum. The circuits for 640 dont show the value of the BFO capacitor but general thinking is that it is about 30pF

Okay David, I will take another look. I was unable to see a value in the circuit diagram.

Thanks Chris. Yes, I'll experiment with 20pF or 30pf from the recommendations on the EUG forum.

Thanks to all.
