[Elecraft] K2 restistance check.

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

I assume you mean U6 on the RF Board.
Do you have the Control Board plugged in?  You should not for this 
resistance check.

Unfortunately, no one answer can be given.  That point is the 8B voltage 
rail, and there are many things connected to it - the problem can be at 
any of them.  I suggest you download the K2 manual and using the Find 
function in Adobe Reader, go over the schematic and identify all the 
components that are connected to the 8B rail.  Then check each one of 
them on the RF Board.  Look for solder splashes that might be shorting 
this circuit to any other circuit.  Check the values of all components 
you identified, and be certain the ICs, transistors and diodes are 
oriented correctly - the Parts Placement diagram is a big aid in 
determining component orientation.

Good luck with it.
73,
Don W3FPR
