[Elecraft] K1 and DMM resistance checks

Roney,

You are a bit confusing when you say "no resistance".
No resistance normally means zero ohms.
It seems your DMM is responding normally to an infinite resistance.
If the reading is the same as your DMM reads with nothing connected to 
the leads, that is a resistance higher than your DMM can read.  Increase 
the scale.

If the manual indicates >100k (greater than 100k) then infinite 
resistance qualifies as good.
