[Elecraft] OK, KX1 nervous Nellie question testing the 80-30 board

[Fred Jensen]

Pour yourself a glass of wine and finish the KX1 tomorrow Peter. :-) 
You're totally within the tolerance on the components, supply voltage 
... and your meter.  All of the Elecraft resistance/voltage/current 
checks are designed to be essentially obvious unless they tell you in 
the manual, and then they become very specific about it [generally in 
the areas of VCO voltage ranges, and the like].  You're cool, you can chill.

You are going to have a blast with your KX1!

KX1 #697
