K2 - Extra capacitor "2.7C"

[JT Croteau]

I just installed the last of the capacitors into the RF board.  I
happen to have a couple extra caps but I am also missing one cap.

The missing cap is the 3.3 pF cap for C22 on the RF board.

One of the extra caps is labeled "2.7C".  I did a search of the PDF
manual and cannot find a "2.7" cap anywhere in the K2 manual.

The other extra cap is an 821.  I should only have two 821's (C4 and
C6).  I have verified that C4 and C6 have the correct caps installed.

Anyone have any ideas what this "2.7C" could be?

Thanks

This is always the first thing I do.  However, I think there is a
serious typo in my manual along with the current PDF manual on
Elecraft's site.

My parts list, along with the PDF version, says the value of "C22" is
"pF)".  Something has obviously been cutoff.  However, the
"Description" for "C22" reads "NPO, "2R7", "3", "3.3", or "3R3".  No
reference to 2.7 at all.

Ok, this has been resolved.  Thanks for all replies.  It has been
pointed out to me that "2R7" is 2.7.  I still need to let Elecraft
know about the typo in the Rev. G manual.

"2R7   is  2.7.    The R is used as a decimal point.

Actually, I am pretty sure that it means 2.7 ohms, resistive, i.e., this
notation is only meaningful for resistors.  The R is a place holder for
the units boundary when there is no k or M to define the scale factor.

Hello David,

In professional Morse I have often heard R used as a . (dot) in number
notation.
Hence 2R7 on a capacitor is most likely 2.7 pF.
