[Elecraft] K3 DC readings

[Pfizenmayer]

This may be in archives but I could not find how to search archives on this list. 


I am  to the DC checks and 12 v in is greater than 1.6 megs - charging caps 

R36 to ground   is OK 175 vs 150 min. 

BUt  U12 dc reg  output to ground is 422 ohms - says should be greater than 500 (but also says only slightly in some K3's) 

and U13 to ground is greater than 5K  charging a cap. - They say greater than 125 ohms - big difference ???


Have checked and double checked connectors - no loose hardware etc . 

Like to hear comments before I go any farther.
