[Elecraft] K1 front panel resistance check J1 pin 16 low

[Don Brown]

Hi

There are a lot of variations in ohm meters. They will all agree out of
circuit but when measuring in circuit, semiconductors will affect the meters
differently. You may try reversing the leads or use a different range to see
if the readings are closer to the manual. If not, I would not worry about
it. The voltage measurements are more important and they should be very
close to the manual.

everything's gone fine up until the resistance checks on page 22 - for the
front panel board. All of them are good except J1 pin 16, which is supposed
to be 15-18k and is instead around 2.5k ohms. I've checked (many times!) all
my solder joints, though (particularly since this is my first kit) I may be
missing something, and I also went back and checked that I had all my
resistors in the right places. Any ideas on where I've gone wrong would be
greatly appriceated.
