[Elecraft] KX1 Resistance checks

[Don Wilhelm]

Ed,

KX1 U6 pin 3 is connected to ground, so you should have a very low 
resistance reading.  The resistance chart on page 42 3rd item from the 
bottom indicates that the reading should be less than 5 ohms.
It sounds like yours passes with flying colors.

I cannot comment correctly on the high resistance reading from your 
particular DMM, but you may want to consult the instruction sheet for 
that DMM.
Infinite resistance should appear the same as the reading wihich you 
obtain with both probes out in thin air,  touching nothing.
