Head Phones and a note about Replacing the KI03 I/O

[KARL MARDERIAN]

   First off I ran across some people taking about Head Phones and the  
K3. If I what use a Mono pair of phones, I like the Kenwood HS-5 8  
Ohms. They are well mad and sound good. But I regress, at the end of  
replace KI03, one is told to cut both traces on the RF board, from the  
bottom of the radio. They state if cut properly, you should read "0"  
ohms on your meter. Well, I got reads of between 12-14 ohms. Is there  
not all kinds of electric stuff on the other side of the board for the  
circuit to follow. My mag glass works just fine to show I cut the  
copper out the PC board. Just so you known

Karl,

Did you cut the correct traces?
You should read "infinity" on your meter after the cut, and not "0".  
Measure across each cut - one probe on one side of the cut and the other
probe on the other side of the cut.
