Dwight,
Congratulations on getting back into building your gear, you will not be sorry, and good luck on getting that ham ticket again. Please explain what you mean by 'NO READING'. Actual readings may vary depending on your particular meter, but the resistance charts may show the minimum expected readings - that is especially true if the reading is shown with a 'Greater Than' symbol (>), meaning the reading may be greater than the value indicated, but should not be less than that value. There is a note to that effect at the top of the resistance check chart for the control board, and applies throughout the manual. Yes, there is a complete schematic in the back of each Elecraft manual (Appendix B for the K2 manual), and it is also listed in the Table of Contents. If by 'complete' you mean a large foldout/foldup schematic, the answer is no, the schematic consists of 6 sheets, but the line tags do correspond from one sheet to another, and that makes it a complete schematic - I have not seen those old foldout schematics in some long time now. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > I have started 4766 and having a ball.
