[Elecraft] I changed K2 R98 to 1K - not good?

[Darwin, Keith]

But I DID check it with an ohmmeter.  I don't know the color codes so I
use the meter in cases like this.

I guess I need to learn that 9.9 KOhm is NOT the same as 0.99 KOhm :-)
The problem was I knew the part was a 1K even before I checked it.
Having already made up my mind that it was a 1K resistor, my brain
avoided confusion by ignoring the evidence.

Fortunately the fix was easy and the rig worked flawlessly for me
through SKN.

That's why I always check the value with an ohm meter if there is any
ambiguity in reading the color code.
