that's what I'm doing. I'm not trying to get all 1.000nF, 10.00nF,
100.0nF, and 1.000uF caps. If I have enough 972s, say, then I'll use four
972pF, four 9.72nF, four 97.2nF, and six 972nF caps. If my Dome filter is
designed for a range of 0.1 to 10000 Hz, then this will change it to 0.1029 to
10290 Hz, which is totally fine.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=780293522-10042021><FONT face=Arial>The
problem is that most of my caps for the first three values lie between mantissas
of 960 and 1030, but nearly all of my 1uF caps are between 1030 and 1050.
However, I've just resigned myself to having to customize one resistor
associated with each 105 cap. As it is, today, I have enough
caps to stuff six 18-stage Dome filters without customizing, which is nice,
because that's exactly how many boards I've made for stuffing. I need
to order various values of 1% resistors for the other builds (I currently
have 20 orders for this frequency shifter, all to be built by hand, by me, in my
garage -- be careful what you wish for, I believe the old saying
goes...).</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>
