Silver mica capacitor question
#1

Hey all,

I have some questions about silver mica capacitors. How do you know when your radio is using silver mica capacitors? Does every radio use silver mica caps or is it only certain radios? Can you tell from looking at the schematic that silver mica capacitors are used? Is there a certain value that means it's a silver mica? Is there a specific stage or application in a radio that only uses silver mica capacitors? Is there any way to tell by looking at a mica capacitor that it's a silver mica?

I think that's enough questions about silver mica capacitors. Icon_crazy

Thanks a lot,

Tom
