It seems that with my radio circuit, I have capacitors with about 20% tolerance to them and resistors with 5% tolerance. The problem with the tolerance is that it is causing me to insert random capacitors just to achieve exact values.
Rather than buying standard 1/4 watt carbon resistors, and titanium caps with 20% tolerance, what kind of capacitors and resistors should I buy (at least for the quench oscillator found in typical receivers)?
I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount on each capacitor, and I don't want to buy too many of them to make a certain value, and my only stores nearby are Sayal Electronics (which is the store I usually shop from), and Nu-tech electronics (which can become expensive).
There is also the source by circuit city, but they are expensive and they have a limited supply.
I'm hoping for a 2% or better tolerance.
I could also order online if the site I order from supports paypal.
