Thanks Geoff. I guessed it must be a meter issue. The K2 has just gone on to
pass its first powered up tests (where's my corkscrew? I must celebrate).
The meter was a cheapy, bought to test motorbike magneto ignition :o)
Hows things in the old country?

Jack,
If you do not get a reply which solves your problem please let me know. I
cannot get to see the schematic until later today, but it looks as though
there might be a semiconductor connected to the right end of R115 which
conducts when you use your analogue meter. You could try swapping the
leads of the analogue meter to see if it then reads a greater resistance
than 2 ohms, hopefully > 500 ohms. If it does then the analogue meter is
causing the problem because any analogue meter measuring resistance can
cause a semiconductor to conduct, DMMs should not.
