Jeff, My schematic shows one connection for pins 2 and 3, another for pins 6 and 7, and yet another for pins 4 and 5 (that is what the comma between the pin designations indicate).
So yes those pins are normally tied together. The problem is usually created by a short through a solder bridge between pins 6,7 and 4,5 - that short usually occurs at the end of resistor RE near pins 4,5. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > As I was going through soldering the first few resistors and resistor > packs, I looked at my solder job through a magnifying glass and > noticed that it *looks* like pins 2 & 3 and 6 & 7 on RP1 (on the > control board) are tied together.
