Hi Dave, I have a radio that uses .015mfd caps in that position. I replaced with .01 mfd X1Y2 safety caps from Justradios.com. Even at that mfd when I ground the radio I get a slight spark, not an arc which is normal. I don’t know how much of a spark you get when connecting your signal generator but a certain amount would be normal. I believe the safety caps I use come in 4 sizes from .01 down to .001 mfd.
