I'm in the final stages of my K2 build, but having a problem with Q7 and Q8
shorting to ground.  When I did my Resistance Checks on pg 74, I had 3.66K
ohms to ground at the Q7 collector.  So that was fine.  But when I put all
the boards and panels on, then attached Q7 and Q8 to the heat sink, I see
about 135 ohms between the Q7 and Q8 collectors and ground.  I assume
that's unacceptable.  I see the same with the heat sink off.  Suggestions?
