1. [TenTec] RE: Field Strength meter (score: 1): Author: kr4wm@bigfoot.com (Web Williams); Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 08:35:59 -0500; OK folks, I opened up my comercially manufactured (Audiovox CBM-1) field strength meter, and this is what's inside. Kinda simple- wish I had built mine now! Sorry I don't know the capacitor color cod; /archives//html/TenTec/1999-01/msg00350.html (8,962 bytes)

There's never been a color code that used green for 16. Never been a color code that used a single color for two digits. Never been a consistent capacitor color code. I'd say your red green red; /archives//html/TenTec/1999-01/msg00351.html (8,275 bytes)

[TenTec] RE: Field Strength meter (score: 1): Author: kr4wm@bigfoot.com (Web Williams); Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 16:54:39 -0500; I'd say look in the 1990 ARRL handbook, page 35-2 at the topof the page, and tell me that I'm wrong! What I -should- have deciphered was: red- first significant figure in uF = 2 green- second signifi; /archives//html/TenTec/1999-01/msg00354.html (8,652 bytes)

Johnson, P.E.); Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 16:12:56 -0600; Capacitor color codes are always in picofarads, never microfarads. Capacitors in microfarads other than decimal fractions are never used at RF. So you have 2500 pf. Each dot, or ring or spot sets a d; /archives//html/TenTec/1999-01/msg00356.html (8,554 bytes)
5. [TenTec] RE: Field Strength meter (score: 1): Author: kr4wm@bigfoot.com (Web Williams); Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 17:48:57 -0500; No, it's definitely in microfarads, because it's not uuF. There's only one u before the F in the book. And it's a tantalum I think, sort of conical shaped, but no point. Fat at the top, and tapering; /archives//html/TenTec/1999-01/msg00358.html (8,417 bytes)

It might be a tantalum but they aren't common in 2500 uf. There's no need for such a value in a field strength meter. None whatsover. 73, Jerry, K0CQ -- FAQ on WWW: http://www; /archives//html/TenTec/1999-01/msg00359.html (7,844 bytes)

Martin); Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 18:05:33 -0600; I don't know what picture in the handbook you guys are looking at, but here's what I see in mine (ARRL Handbook for Radio Amateur's - 1995, page 24.2) Tantalum's color codes are based in microfarads; /archives//html/TenTec/1999-01/msg00360.html (8,030 bytes)

Well.... for that matter, there's no need; /archives//html/TenTec/1999-01/msg00376.html (8,691 bytes)
