Value of CP9 on the Forty-9er


 

I am building the Forty-9er (VFO is completed) and hit a snag.? The PCB shows CP9 as an electrolytic and the schematic shows it as a 0.1uF disc.? To make things more confusing, I seem to recall mention of a different value...perhaps a .047uF disc.? Can anyone tell me if I should go with the .1uF or some other value?

I am about to put in the transistors and then wind and install the toroids, so I still have a bit of time to research this.

BTW:? I have created a 3-D printed plate with a proper sized hole to mount the LCD (including the mounting bolts) as well as the rotary encoder.? It's a mock-up, as I am adding an audio amp, keyer, and other controls when the radio works like I want it to.? I can send the Sketchup drawing of the plate if anyone needs it.? Perhaps I can post it here under the files section.? Not sure how helpful it would be.

Wish me luck,

CP9 is a disk (104, 0.01uF) and not an electrolytic.

A 0.1uF disc is correct for C9. Download the latest manual revision,although it doesn't appear on Farruk's site any more?! ...
