- Hi, Speaking of blocking capacitors (and at the risk of starting a range war)-- My 6m amp, which uses an 8877 and a pi network, seemed to suffer from the same problem as Lance's -- I could get 1500 W

- When DC blocking caps are paralleled, a parallel-resonance is created between the capacitors in the RF output path. The additional resonance may be problematic. W6PO circuit, to 100 to - R. L. Measu

- This is only relevant when the two capacitors are very *different*. You then get a parallel resonance, between the lower capacitance and the self-inductance of the higher-value one. For example, if y
