Don, Thanks for your reply.
>It may be too that your DMM is using a higher than normal voltage to >measure resistance (which can turn on active devices), As I don't have another DMM at hand, I did something different. I found a junk box 680 ohm resistor, measured it (682) and measured the pins with the 680 ohm resistor in series. Now I consistently get 4.8 kohms. Surely, that proves your point, Don. I was measuring some active devices. >or that the >polarity of your leads is different than most DMMs which explains >why the reding is OK when the leads are reversed. I don't understand the above statement but that doesn't matter. I think your advice resolved the problem. 73, Chris ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
