[Elecraft] K3 SN 3757 resistance checks fail ?

[Ramiro Aceves]

Hi K3 friends.

I am Ramiro, EA1ABZ. I have almost finished K3 assembly and I have
reached "resistance checks" in page 45 of the assembly manual. The
measured resistance in U 12 is 445 omhs, and the manual states that
this resistance should be greater than 500 ohms ("although in some K3
it may be only slightly greater than 500 ohms"). Mi measurement is
below 500 ohms. Do you think that I should search for a fault.?

U13 resistance is 420 ohms, greater than 150 ohms, as manual says.



Thank you very much.
