Which caps are better in a VFO?

[m0bmn]

Hi all

In a attempt to get even less drift in my K1 I was wondering which type of
caps are the best to use

Either poly’s like used in the wide tuning range of the K1 or small silver
Mica types that are from the good old days (unused ones that is)

Any thoughts

Paul

There is a very nice guide to capacitors by NA5N available on the web:
http://www.interalia.plus.com/na5n.pdf

I found it via the G-QRP website http://www.gqrp.com which has many
other good tech stuff.
