CERAMIC DISC CAPACITORS
The vast majority of capacitors in this circuit are the ceramic disc type. Our
protocol is to identify those in picofarads up to 99 pF simply as 1 pF or 33 pF, etc.
There may be one letter to identify temperature characteristics (e.g. 33J = 33 pF.)
exact part marking (101, 102, 103, 151, 181, etc.) minus any letter. All disc
capacitors are specified to fit the exact lead spacing on the board: if a
capacitor seems too big or too little for the spacing, you have selected the
wrong part!
Table 1-F
MYLAR FILM CAPACITORS
These capacitors have shiny, thick, rectangular bodies with value markings just
like on the ceramic disc capacitors. In this kit design, the mylar film parts (used in
the PLL filter and RF bandpass filter) have values different from any of the disc
capacitors, with the sole exception of C11,
Table 1-G
ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS
These cylinder shaped parts are easy to recognize
from their longer (+) leads and clearly marked wide
negative band. In this kit, just be sure to identify an
capacitors as specified in the directions.

clearly by a manufacturer's number on the part itself OR by detailed description in
a kit assembly step. We give you plenty of help in the assembly instructions for
identifying and installing these parts correctly.
The VCO coils (Phase 3.0) are wound
on WHITE forms easily identified:
L3 (VCO-1): BROWN paint dot
L2 (VCO-2): RED paint dot
