[Elecraft] K1 minor stumbling block...

Well, the missing jumper had me as well.  Prior to beginning work on
the K1 I went through and added all of the corrections to the manual,
but when I got to that page I paid no attention to my note.  I guess,
as it wasn't a "step" but just written in above the section, it didn't
catch my eye.  All voltages read correctly once the jumper was in
place.

Now I'm just waiting for a couple of missing capacitors and I'll be on
the home stretch.

Thanks, Mike, for helping me over the hump.

Happy fourth, everyone.
