Hi all,
Is there any problem using a VOM instead of a DMM to perform the resistance
checks while building the K3? I have yet to make it fully into the modern era
and to that end, do not have a DMM.
One of the main reasons touted by Elecraft for many years is the low phase

Some of the things that contribute to unacceptable phase noise levels can be
attributed to incorrect alignment of circuits during build, inadequate
