So I can replace a 1500uf 6.3V cap with a 1500uf 16V cap, but not with a 2200uf 6.3V? That's backwards of the way I understood it.

I probably shouldn't have made a blanket statement. For those caps, replacing them with caps of non-equivalent value can be done, so long as both the voltage and charge ratings are >= the original. In RF paths though, you usually want to keep the same exact
capacitance value.

One more thing to watch out for; since these are electrolytic caps, they're polarized so you have to orient them the correct way. I forgot about that in my last message, seeing as to how I mostly work with chip capacitors :P
