[Amps] lk 500 za 160 meter padded caps

Amp Supply was always changing things.

Add whatever value gives full loading and improves output AND efficiency. 
Then your excessive voltage drop will probably go away. That tank has a very 
limited matching range on 160 and I changed values on my 500ZC so I could 
cover the full band with a fairly high VSWR at the high end. I detest 
antenna tuners.
