[Elecraft] KX1 Newby Help!

[Burke Jones]

Okay, I am a complete electronics "newby" - so please be patient.

I have worked my way carefully up to page 26 on my KX1.  I have double
checked everything, but I may need to do it again.

The problem is with the resistance checks.

On U1 I have several pins that provide no resitance, by "no" I mean not even
zero - my DMM just shows nothing.

On U3 pin 1 and pen 8 show nothing as well.

This is true even if I touch the solder points on the bottom instead of the
pin holes or legs.

Also when I check the diodes D2 and D3 the Ohms just keep getting higher and
higher.  In other words when I touch the banded end of the diode the
resistance just keeps increasing as long as the probe is on the lead.  Is
this correct?

Any help would be much appreciated!  This is my first kit, and while I know
basically nothing about electronics I am good a physically constructing
things and I am careful in my work.
