[Elecraft] T1 Tuner Kit Control Board final check issues

[Erik Tkal]

Hi Don,

Everything appears correct and in place, already used magnification to check, and individual resistors all seem to measure correctly.  I still think it's my multimeter in auto mode.  I went back and retried the initial test using manual ranging and if I set the range to 600K it shows a reasonable value.  I suspect the caps in the circuit are fooling it, will have to google that and see if there is an adjustment.  The second test still shows a bit high as well, but  if I measure from the *cathode* of D3 instead of the anode then I get a reasonable value as well; perhaps the difference in meter currents used for measurements is messing up due to the diode being in the circuit as the check is worded?

  Thanks and 73,

Since that is the case, check the value of the resistors and check out the soldering under magnification.
