[Elecraft] Info 080 message started with RF Alignment and Test, Part II

[Don Wilhelm]

The resistance between Control Board U6 pin 40 and RF Board U1 pin 28 
should be the sum of CB R6 and RF R64.  Both should be 100 ohms (check 
both).  If the resistance between those two pins is less than the sum of 
those resistors, you have a solder bridge somewhere.
