[Elecraft] Yet another question...

Hi guys,

Forgive me for all my (probably) silly questions.  When you invest this 
much money in something, I guess you get kinda paranoid...

My question deals with D22 on the RF board.  It is an MV149 varactor.  I 
checked all the other ones and they say about 16.00 kOhms one way, and 
infinity the other way.  However, D22 says 22.7kOhms both ways. Is it 
bad?  How does one tell if it is bad?

Again I am wondering if I am applying too much heat.  The only reason 
why I think I may have applied too much heat is because I was trying to 
get them to sit fluch on the board (later I realized that the center cut 
off pin was prevernting that from happening :)  BTW... I am using a 
Weller WTCPT soldering station and a PTF7 tip.

Thanks!
