Broken GWS Rx. Missing Cap

[Nightz]

Long story short...I broke my Rx. Looks like the cap that bridges pin 10 and 11 on the 31136 IC has vanished :eek:

And I was so close to getting my project done. So anyone have a broken GWS R-4PII 4CH PICO Rx? Maybe you can pop that cap off for me and measure the capacitance? Probably in the picofarads...

A long shot I know ...

Thanks,

Hi,

Today it's your lucky day. The cap is 91pF.

Good luck!

You Rock!!
I'll give it a try tonight...assuming I have that value.

Well...that's one value I don't have. I suppose I could try to stack two 36's and an 18. Or stack an 82 and an 18. I have those values. That will give me 90pF. I'll have to find my tweezers.....

It Worked! :D
I used an 82 and 18pF cap.

Thanks again Cirip.

Hi,

Glad it worked. Actually that capacitor value is not critical. I expect it to work with 82pF too. 91+/-10% should work with no noticeable differences.
