    Magnum S-9 VCO Voltage problem

    Ok For shit's and giggles. C91 in this Magnum S9 is listed to be a 390 Pf disk cap. I removed C91 (Measured 414 Pf) and installed a 100 Pf Disk cap (measured 101 Pf) and ran the radio and it's still loosing VCO voltage, After installing the 100Pf C91, i did have to readjust L17 to speck.
