Thanks Don. To clarify the thread, I was reading infinite resistance. Russ KG7VQ On 6/24/2020 9:53 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: Russ, Your statement of "no resistance" is misleading.  Several hams use that to indicate infinite resistance - because of the way their meter reads (blank reading)

Russ, Your statement of "no resistance" is misleading.  Several hams use that to indicate infinite resistance - because of the way their meter reads (blank reading) where in other cases, hams use that phrase to indicate zero ohms. In the future, be clear and use a numerical value - infinity

Thanks Don. That confirms the notion I had about needing the replacement kit. Russ KG7VQ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post:

Russ, At first glance it would appear that you have shorted PA transistors (at least one of them) To address the problem, the first thing is to order the K2PAKIT from Elecraft. It contains matched PA transistors, new PA transistor mounting hardware if you have the older white standoffs,

[Elecraft] K2 after kat2 install Q7 & 8 check

When I check, both show no resistance reading. Shorted probes read -1`or zero. I am reading from both the holding bolt and a 2D block to the collector. The kat2 instructions say to look for greater the 100 ohms and the k2 manual says to check for a short for proper installation. Infinite
