C182 is a fairly big yellow disk ceramic marked '181', if that is
correct, then I guess I don't have a problem?
I have a software audio analyser (xanalyser) which I could use to find
the peak and I have a DMM which should measure audio frequencies just
fine (It has a range of 0 - 4MHz as a frequency counter).
Which would be preferable?
