[Elecraft] Improper J1 (Front Panel) Readings

[Don Wilhelm]

Dennie,

If by no reading you mean a very high reading - like the same thing you see
on your DVM with the leads connected to nothing, then everything should be
OK.

OTOH, if your 'no reading' words indicate a short (0 ohms) then you do have
a problem.

Different DVM's read high resistance differently, and that is what the chart
on page 27 of the manual is trying to communicate with the greater than (>)
symbol.  If you obtain a reading higher than the value listed, it is OK.

73 and Merry Christmas,

First, I hope all of you have a great Christmas tomorrow.
Second, I want to thank all of you who helped with my resistor question. The
support was fantastic.
Third, I have an area where the section checkout readings are not as they
should be:

Page 27, resistance checks:

J1     Pins 1-7  No readings
        Pin 9     No reading
        Pin 11     No reading
        Pin 13    No reading

As the instructions said, I put all Pots. at midpoing. I resoldersed all
connection to J1. Still no luck.
All other J1 pins are OK.
Measurements are to ground, as specified.
