Ah, yes... micro-microfarad. My bad. I hadn't heard the term since I
was about 10 and just mis-remembered it. I have seen old (1970s)
construction articles in "Popular Electronics", etc., refer to "mmf"
on occasion - presumably micro-microfarad.

2200pF does sound reasonable. I am one of those
who never grew up
using nF, so I don't tend to use it (I learned milli-microfarad from
my father for pF, he, in turn, was a Ham in the 1950s).
I hope you didn't, because it would be wrong :-) One milli-microfarad
is one nanofarad; I think you meant to write micro-microfarad, or more
likely you meant to write nF instead of pF.
