I am designing a ham radio receiver PCB for the prototyping batch.
PCB is two sided, top is mostly ground, and the bot is the main tracks pattern.
PCB will be made by the chinese pcb factory.
My question is, is the clearance (spacing between tracks and tracks or copper pour) size important, and how big the clearance should be?
I suspect that the tracks with low clearance may add a stray capacitance to the circuit, but I don't know how much it matters at the used frequencies (4MHz up to 20MHz or soo, maybe even higher).
