Kieth, Since the base circuit for Q1 and Q2 is quite symmetrical, there is no reason to have a different resistance reading on one as opposed to the other. Neither Q1 nor Q2 should conduct with a resistance check, you should be measuring the resistance of the other circuit elements and not the health of either Q1 or Q2.
Ron can speak better than I for the reason the values are listed differently, but I do suspect it was an oversight. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I'm building a Rev D KPA100.
