Could anyone explain the reason for the strange configuration of capacitors on the Drake L7?
They have what looks like printed circuit board material made into a capacitor. They have one
across a portion of the RF choke, and one that appears to be a padding cap across the tuning
cap. The latter one I can somewhat understand, but that one across the RF choke has me
puzzled. I ask because on an L7 I looked at recently the one across the tuning cap was
clipped off. A wild guess is that it has something to do with making the RF choke
functional on WARC bands????
