Hi, can you explain what this RF Bypass Capacitor is doing, we see and hear it but what is happening here?

Thanks for showing us.

@PA2OLD

It is bypassing, removing, filtering out, RF to ground.

Hi Rick, love watching your videos.

I wonder if you could you please enlighten me as where to look for old capacitor values and when replacing what type to use.

Just a novice trying to revive Pilot U650.

Live in the UK.

Best regards, thanks in advance John.

Did not know how else to contact you sorry for inconvenience.

Thanks joernone

Hey John,

YES! RF bypass, drain, elimination, dumping, filter.

Right!

Regards

Rick

Rick,

Very instructive. Like it a lot.

The term "RF bypass capacitor" (or bypass capacitor) has always bugged me. From the vid I can see it's actually an "RF elimination capacitor"....an "RF dumping capacitor".  Right?

Regards,

John

Thanks CameramanLink

Sure could. Other parts in this radio if their bad, the radio will not play. And most of the time it is easer to find that. But if this cap opens the radio plays but the sound is mushy. Also if the RF cap is open and you trace it out with a signal tracer and you go across it, the tracer can supply the RF bypass and both the tracer and the radio will play great.
