[Elecraft] K1 manual revisions

[Bert]

HI Don and Petr,

Thanks for the offer Petr but Don has already been kind enough to send 
me the Rev. D, 2000 K1 Manual. Thanks anyway!

I find it quite difficult sometimes to troubleshoot and follow the 
schematics. Also doing signal tracing in the receiver and
transmitter is quite subjective using only an RF probe. It would be 
better to have some RF values p-p so you could use
a oscilloscope and at the same time see the signal.

This is an older radio so I don't expect Elecraft to come up with some 
new troubleshooting aids, but the K1 owners can
share experiences and test results.

I've just measured the resistance between J7-pin 6 to ground and it's 5.7K.

Please keep me in the loop. Thanks to both of you. Comments from other 
k! owners are appreciated.

Thanks!

Bert VE3NR
