Re: [amsat-bb] Power Supply Woes Solved!

["Christopher Maness" <kq6up@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, Jeff, adding small value caps will shunt (short) the RF to ground I 
recomend using a .1 uF non-electrolitic. That should do the trick.  
Larger value caps, such as electrolytics, also have internal inductances 
that can act as an RF choke and block the signals from being shunted to 
ground.
