[Elecraft] K2 S/N 5318 FP resistance checks problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

Everything looks good EXCEPT J1 pins 1-7, 9 and 11-14.  These should not be
zero ohms or near zero ohms.
Check your soldering to see if there is excess solder that might be shorting
things together - that is the most likely cause.  After all, J1 pins 1, 2
and 3 connect only to the AF Gain, so all those should indicate a high
resistance to ground (at this point, the AF Gain control should connect to
nothing else (see the schematic), and pins 4 and 5 go only over to the mic
configuration header position and dead end there because you do not have the
header mounted yet.

73,
