Really short answer: yes, although you needn't check all the resistors that are supplied on a tape.
Reason: you get to know and recognize the parts. There are some variations in some of the capacitors, etc. and some which are different but which look similar to each other. If you clarify before installing anything, you're less likely to find yourself having installed a wrong part. The whole job will not take longer, because if you have identified and sorted the parts you will be able to grab them more quickly when you need them. Construction will go more smoothly. You are not so much doing it to catch Elecraft's mistakes as to prevent YOU from making mistakes! On 7/17/2010 1:06 PM, stan levandowski wrote: > Hello.
