Hello. I've started building my first Elecraft, a K2. My background in soldering/kit building is thin, about 4 other kits, one of which actually worked the first time I tried it out. The others required a little trouble shooting...
So I wanted a K2 bad enough to try building one despite all that. I've done the Control Board, and my resistance checks show some problems, I think. I've reviewed the solder joints and all the parts are there. I saw where the "greater than 100K" may show up as infinite... even given that, it looks like I may have a problem with U6. Here's what I have: Test Point should be my reading P2 pin 1 >10K 1.51 M U5, out >2K 3.74 K U4, OUT 3-7K 4.6 K Q1 collector > 1M 3.71M Q2 collector > 1M 3.8 M U3 pin 8 > 10K 196K U6 pin 13 >100K open U6 pin 14 >100K open U6 pin 29 70-90K 3.7K U6 pin 30 70-90K short U8 pin 2 >100K open U8 pin 15 >100K open U8 pin 16 >100k open I see where more control board tests follow building the front panel. Do I have a problem that should be resolved now, especially the U6 pins 29 and 30 problem, or is it easier to trouble shoot at the next stage?
