Hi to the group
I completed my K2 and now am building the KPA 100.  Manual  Rev C, Feb 
2004.
On page 41, "Alignment and Installation"   Resistance measurements are 
made between ground and test point.  J3, Q1 Collector, Q2 collector, 
and Q9 tab are all within the the spec,s as listed in the table.  Q1 
base and Q2 base to ground I get lower then expected resistance values. 
  11.4 Ohms.
Should I be concerned about this reading since the manual calls for 12 
- 16 ohms?
I also had some problems getting a reading at D13 cathode end.  After 
several tries I did get a reading according to spec,s.
thanks for any assistance,  73's  Hank WA9QJH
