My experience is with bypassing is from many years of cleaning up
elevator
rooms loaded with 2-way radio equipment, and often the inductive
reactance
of larger caps decreases their effectiveness. Often several 1000pf work
better
than the equivalent in a single cap. For VHF/UHF bypassing the usual was
470 - 1000pf on lower impedence circuits, and broadcast about 5000pf. In
this case
I would start with the 5000pf and see if there is any change at all. The
ideal would
be to have all the amps in an aluminum box and use feed-thru caps for all
connections.

That would absolutely work.
