[Elecraft] K2: 8A Control Resistance 2.72 to 3.50 depending on R1

[Don Wilhelm]

David,

You likely have the 4.7k value for RP6 installed which will lower the 
resistance measured slightly.  Apparently the 'nominal' resistance value 
was not changed in the manual yet to account for the change in RP6 (it 
used to be 5.1k).

You do not have a problem.

73,
