Andy,
Your "of" indication is a valid measurement - therefore it is a "reading"
It is a higher resistance than the range your meter is set to - switch
to a higher range.
Once your range is above 100k, if it still indicates "of", you know that
the resistance is greater than 100k, therefore all is well.
For the other points, do the same, increase the meter scale until you
see a numeric indication on the meter, or if the range exceeds the
expected resistance, and you are looking for a value greater than that
listed, the test passes.
Often, you are asked to check the resistance of a point that has nothing
connected to it - that can and should have infinite resistance. The
purpose of doing that test is to check for solder bridges or other
shorted conditions.
For measurements like this, ohmmeters vary in how they display large
resistances.
Please tell us which specific pins you are having trouble with. Use the
designators given in the manual and we can communicate unambiguously
without guessing what you meant.

I am building the k1 kit and am at the rf board, part 1 test section. Of the
eight points to be tested on the 20 pin connector only four are showing
values. The meter on the other four is indicating "of" or overflow, which
the meters manual indicates as infinity. The values in the instructions do
say the readings should be ">100k" . The other test points are on two
amplifiers and of those only two of the five are giving readings, the others
showing "of". I have checked the part locations and have found no mix ups.
Any body have any thoughts?
Thanks
Andy, kb1kyn
