[Amps] Pad and Air Variable Load Caps

[Angelo Karabetsos]

I noticed that one of the leading manufacturers uses multiple 50, 75 and 
150pF ceramic disc caps  in the tank circuit for padding, yet most use 
doorknob transmitting type, is there any pitfalls to this? Also, most load 
air variables are split 190pF - 60pF which I would assume help tuning on the 
higher bands. Am I too far off base here?
