Good morning, all. I've got a question for the RF guys out there. Is there a significant difference between silver plating and gold plating when it comes to an RF circuit board assembly? My drawings call for silver but our vendor sent gold. I've been asked to find out if this will have a major impact on performance. Thanks for your help.
