Question on KNB2 Build

[Will - AI4VE]

I'm building the KNB2 (Rev ER) module and instead of a 1500pF ("152") capacitor for C6 the kit included a 1000pF ("102") capacitor. This is a small capacitor, not like the larger "102"s for C9, C11, and C13. Is the 1000pF cap an acceptable substitute for the 1500pF cap at C6 or is this a packing error?

Thanks in advance for your support.

  Will,

C6 is part of the tuned bandpass circuit, so the values are not
flexible.  Request a real 1500 pF capacitor from [hidden email].

Do look carefully at all the larger parts of the kit, often those small
capacitors get stuck on other larger components and hide themselves
quite well.
