[Elecraft] K1 Front Panel resistance checks

Don,

Thanks for your reply.

As I don't have another DMM at hand, I did something different. I 
found a junk box 680 ohm resistor, measured it (682) and measured 
the pins with the 680 ohm resistor in series. Now I consistently 
get 4.8 kohms. Surely, that proves your point, Don. I was measuring 
some active devices.

I don't understand the above statement but that doesn't matter. I 
think your advice resolved the problem.
