[Elecraft] Results for Resistance Check on the Control Board

[Vic Dively]

Hello.  I've started building my first Elecraft, a K2.  My background in
soldering/kit building is thin, about 4 other kits, one of which actually
worked the first time I tried it out.  The others required a little
trouble shooting...

So I wanted a K2 bad enough to try building one despite all that.  I've
done the Control Board, and my resistance checks show some problems, I
think.  I've reviewed the solder joints and all the parts are there.  I
saw where the "greater than 100K" may show up as infinite...  even given
that, it looks like I may have a problem with U6.  Here's what I have:

Test Point   should be   my reading
P2 pin 1        >10K         1.51 M
U5, out         >2K          3.74 K
U4, OUT         3-7K         4.6 K
Q1 collector    > 1M         3.71M
Q2 collector    > 1M         3.8 M
U3 pin 8        > 10K        196K
U6 pin 13       >100K        open
U6 pin 14       >100K        open
U6 pin 29       70-90K       3.7K
U6 pin 30       70-90K       short
U8 pin 2        >100K        open
U8 pin 15       >100K        open
U8 pin 16       >100k        open

I see where more control board tests follow building the front panel.  Do
I have a problem that should be resolved now, especially the U6 pins 29
and 30 problem, or is it easier to trouble shoot at the next stage?

Thanks
