Lew, with a good digital ohm meter and 0.6 ohms of resistance you can sometimes walk down the traces looking for a 0.0 (or as low as your test leads measure) short. This doesn't always work since your problem may not be a dead short but it is a simple starting point before going into more advanced trouble shooting. 73 Fred, AE6QL

My reliable K3-10 has developed a short circuit across the power input terminals. Well, to be exact, not quite a dead short. It measures 0.6 ohms across the PowerPole connectors. It most certainly does blow fuses on the input line. Any suggestions for trouble shooting? And also for a possible cause of the problem?
