[Elecraft] problem with kat2

[Daniel L Brinneman]

Hi John,

Again don't take my word for it.  But when measuring across the male pins
of RF-P6 there should be a DC short.  This is because of RF-T4 is in the
circuit.  There is not AC/Sine wave short, but there will be a DC short,
and ohms kinda' falls along the DC expectancy of shorting.
This is my experience when no capacitor was spliced in the trace leading
to one side of P6, to prevent a blowout.  The capacitor was added to
protect the switching of the RF and DC plugs.  If you do have a capacitor
in line to RF-P6 than their should be no DC short, because capacitance in
series blocks DC, and passes AC.
