[Elecraft] Resistors

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Huh??? I didn't say that!

The assembly instructions will teach anyone who has built an Elecraft rig
the color code. The correct colors are in each step right after the value
for the resistor, e.g. 4.7k  (yel-vio-red). By the time you're done
building, you know the color code!

A DMM doesn't hurt. Sometimes the colored resistors are hard to read
correctly, and some of the bands are so tiny on the smaller units that the
color is simply hard to see!

I have always just used my DMM to check the value of each resister  before 
installing it. I am partially color blind (hence couldn't fly in the  Marine

Corps), so I have to depend on an alternative that works really well so
far.
