Don't let the resistance checks fool you. My front panel
and control panel checked out OK but later I found a
solder blob on the power pot, a cold joint on the LED's
resistor pack and I had swapped the xtals on the Control
board.

Later I had the RF deck fully built and it checked out in
both resisitance checks and current draw but it turned
out I had wound T5 backwards and a diode installed
wrong on the SSB board.

Take your time & be carefull!
