No matter how you might *choose* to define it, the fact remains that the radio does, in fact have more than one capacitor.

OK so then its a 2 capacitor radio then instead of a 3 capacitor radio (not counting the electrolytics), if that pleases the masses.
That's still the fewest capacitors I've seen in an AA5 circuit before.
