+ | FWIW: I placed the capacitor across the "other end of the brown and violet wires" at the KEYER SPEED control several years ago and it cured the problem for me. It is easier to solder a small cap to the pot than to the connector. This may not work for everyone, especially if they have RF floating around the shack. | ||

+ | Alternative to soldering to connector "D", one may form small "loops" in the capacitor leads, remove connector "D", place the loops over the outside pins of the mating connector on the Logic Board, and crimp the capacitor looped leads to the pins with a small needle nose pliers, and reinstall connector "D". | ||
