I have a question on the prelimary test readings on my K1 sn 998 =
(Actually, it is more a question about taking the ohm meter readings =
with my digital volt meter)
For the test points that should read >100k Ohms, I get different =
readings depending on what scale I am reading on the ohm meter. I am =
using a Micronta meter I purchased at Radio Shack several years ago that =
has the following Ohm meter ranges 200, 2k, 200k 2m 20m.. For the test =
points in question, I get different readings on the 200k, 2m and 20m =
range.. All readings are OK on the highest range, but may be close in =
the 200k range..
The meter reads purely resisitive loads (resistors) fine on all ranges.. =
Any ideas from anyone..
Thanks
