[Henry] 3K Classic X

Sun Feb 19 19:41:57 EST 2012

Hello,
I have the Henry 3K Classic (X) w/8877 and want to replace all the mica
caps on the tuned inputs. Without removing the RF deck right now to look,
does anyone know if RADIAL micas will work/fit, or are they a different
configuration? I've had it out before, but can't remember. I am seeing
nearly 2.0:1 SWR on 75 meters, and once before, in the past, I attempted to
adjust the coil, but ran out of turns on the core before it would get any
lower. Only thing I can think of is the caps have changed in value over
the years. I'm using 26 feet of RG8-X to the input, but have tried shorter
runs with no real change. I figure since I will be in there, I might has
well replace all the caps for the other bands too.
Thanks.
