CTI'S Explanation of cap

[Barry Schaede <barrys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CTI the company that makes both the BB and the JT-30 has this to say 
about the cap.  It was on both the Blues Blaster and the JT-30VC for a 
brief period of time.  The reason was that the potentiometers they were 
using at that time were out of spec.  The cap was their fix.  Crystal 
mikes are extremley sensitive to impedance loading.  With the cap they 
got what they wanted.  the people at CTI thought I was some kind of 
wacko.  I had to explain about the list and tell them there were a bunch 
of engineers gone wild trying to come up with explanations for this 
capacitor.  Apparently they believed my story and provided me with the 
above explanation.  Now Bruce you can tell us all how the capacitor wired 
across the one side of the potentiometer (Rick's drawing looked good to 
me) solves the problem of the incorrect value.  I measured mine it is 
less than 500k but not by a whole bunch.  This was the 2nd time I had 
called CTI.  I'm going to have to disguise my voice if any more 
cotroversies come up I think they're over us by now.  FJM
