But I DID check it with an ohmmeter. I don't know the color codes so I use the meter in cases like this.
I guess I need to learn that 9.9 KOhm is NOT the same as 0.99 KOhm :-) The problem was I knew the part was a 1K even before I checked it. Having already made up my mind that it was a 1K resistor, my brain avoided confusion by ignoring the evidence. Fortunately the fix was easy and the rig worked flawlessly for me through SKN. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - -----Original Message----- From: Doug [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's why I always check the value with an ohm meter if there is any ambiguity in reading the color code. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Don" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Well, I have had the experience!
