[Elecraft] KX1 resistance tests help

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

That comes up a lot Chris. DMMs vary widely in what they do when "out of
range" or even when the reading is within range. Also, the readings often
vary widely when the probes are reversed. The manuals try to compensate for
that by stating values that any decent DMM will indicate no matter how it's
used. 

The downside is a concern like yours in which the DMM agrees with the
reading but by such a wide margin it "raises eyebrows", Hi!

Hi Don,

I am familiar with those symbols, I just wasn't sure
if something like >10K should be in the megaohm range.

Since some of the reading where in the 20K range I
thought something might have been off.

Just being careful since I really don't want anything
to happen to my KX1.

I guess things are ok then.

Thanks,
