[Elecraft] K2 - KAT100 Resistance Checks Anomoly

[Don Wilhelm]

Chris,

The U5 Pin 3 to ground is not likely a problem - that reading will 
depend on the exact setting of R3.  You apparently have it set a bit 
above the center position.

The U2 Pin 12 is another matter altogether, and *is* a problem.  Look 
for a solder bridge at U2 pin 12, U3 pin 12 and J1 pin 10.
On U2 and U3, the pins on either side of pin 12 are grounded, so I would 
expect you will find the problem there.  Use some solder wick and wick 
away any excess solder.  If the solder fills the thru-plated hole, that 
is enough.

73,
