[Elecraft] setting KPA 100 page 48 problem

[Christophe aufacf]

hello Don,

continuity measurements from C71 ==> K14 PIN 3 & 4

K12 PIN 7 & 8; K15 PIN 2

for measuring band frequencies

80M, 30M, 20M; 17; 12 and 10M

on 3600, 10.140, 14.100, 18.100, 21.100, 28.100

will that be correct?

as I did on 40M

73 , Cris F8ACF  Happy Easter
