[Elecraft] K2 building question

[Don Wilhelm]

Dan,

In this particular case, a little high is not a problem - low might be 
problematic.
Normally if a single value is listed for a resistance check, allow a +/- 
10% tolerance, but when a range is listed, normally the readings you 
obtain should fall within the listed range.

>  and am performing the resistance checks as recommended in the manual.  All check out OK except for the test for pins 29 and 30 of U6 (the dash and dot/ptt pins).  The resistance values as stated in the manual are 70-90 kohms.  I'm reading 96 kohms on both pins.  Do I have a problem?  My DMM is an inexpensive one, so is the 7% deviation to be expected (within tolerances).  If this is bad, any ideas on what to check?  Thanks,
