KPA100 -RF disappears

Earl Ritchie-2
My KPA100 has no RF out. Low power from the K2 is great. In checking I find RF as far as T1-5 then it stops.  The primary winding shows 300 ohms to ground from T1-5.  Does this teflon wire have that much resistance??
I guess I just dont understand why the power is not being transferred and would appreciate some help from others.  
Thank you, EArl VE3FBK

Earl,

You may want to touch up the soldering on T1-5 and T1-4 first.  Either T1
has a broken primary wire or a bad solder connection.  The 300 ohms
resistance reading is proper with an open primary - R22 is in parallel with
the T1 primary winding.
