All small value monolythic capacitors supplied by Elecraft are C0G and the small value disc ceramics are NP0 whether or not they have a black top.

Thanks, Don. Looked back at my neatly bagged inventory and found the bag I marked 
"271". That's what I get for trying to be organized.

Here's what I'll use:
C72: "271"
C45: "010" (although it doesn't have a black cap to indicate "temperature 
stable")
C33: "229"
C198: "270"

Those capacitors are using the standard 3 digit code - two significant

digits followed by a multiplier (9 is used for a multiplier of 0.1 in

this type of identification).

010 is 1pF

030 is 3pF

270 is 27pF

229 is 2.2pF

I don't know where your 270pF (marked 271) capacitor may be, you didn't

list it.

With manufacturers discontinuing many thru-hole components, it is

getting more and more difficult to keep the manuals current with the

available supply.

I'm having trouble identifying a few capacitors used in the assembly of the K2 
RF board.

C72: "271"

C45: NPO "1", black top

C33: 2.2pf "2R2" or "2"

C198: NPO "27" or "272"

What I have:

a blue "010"

a blue "030"

a yellow "270"

a yellow "229"

I suspect the "229" is a 2.2pf capacitor for C33.

The "270" could be 27 or 270pf, but I'm not sure; it might be for C72.

The "010" could be the 1pf for C45, but it doesn't have a black top.

Could the "030" be for C198? This suggests it could be:

I'm having trouble measuring capacitance for these tiny capacitors. Values are 
all over the place. Any suggestions for verifying the values and positively 
IDing them?
