mdtm or kevin wood will know better, but looks like cap to me

Waiting for one of those 2

Ended up using wire to replace the track and it works without the possible cap

It looks the same as the one just below on what appears to be the aerial (square spiral type track) so would guess it's a cap as well - maybe used as a filter in the case of the aerial.

Well it is going back without one  - I hope it works

it wont work without it martin its a capictor

Why not? - it gets picked up on RF at the correct channel

I expected it not to work but was surprised it did

well its there for a reason bud ! if its missing so is a part of the cicuit

Oh well if I knew its value and could get one - I'll see what happens - have emailed and PMed - said suck it and see

Its a cermaic cap......looks to be a 10-100nF and probably a de-coupling cap

I'll check Maplins later

How do you learn all this electronics stuff - I'd love to learn more?

5 years as a hobby, 4 years full time at Uni.....then you are ready to learn it (you dont learn the real stuff till you leave!)

11 years later.....and I can design my own stuff well!

I suppose like it takes a good 10 years of programming before you can call yourself one.

Does look like a cap to me too, but could it also be a resistor? (Or do they normaly have numbers on them?)

You will probably find it will work without it anyways!

Bit like on computer hard drives, often diodes fail (shorted) and you can remove them and continue to use the hard drive again to recover files etc... Wouldn’t use the drive again for anything important though without resoldering another diode in place, even the I would be sceptical!
