[Elecraft] KX1 Kit Questions

[Don Wilhelm]

  Phil,

Greater than is defined as "greater than" - it can be as high as 
infinite = totally open circuit.
The manual values consider that different DMMs will read resistances 
differently - particularly open circuit values.

Well, for almost every other pin, the resistance I measure is not only greater then 10K but greater then 2 to 4 Meg ohms.  I assume this is OK since it satisfies the constraint.  Is this a reasonable assumption?

I have made measurements with S1 open and closed per the tests.  My measurements always agree to the stated constraint (e.g.>  1 K and>  10 K) but I measure very large resistance values in the meg ohm range.  Is this reasonable?
