Chris,

Unless you are really careful with your DMM leads and have zeroed your
DMM, *any* reading of .001 volts (or even up to .003) can be considered
zero under normal conditions because it is likely noise being coupled
onto the DMM leads from sources unknown.

So, yes, that is close enough to zero.

Additional hint: if you are ever going to install the K60XV, use a 470
ohm resistor at the R6 location rather than the 47 ohm value.  If you
have the K60XV in hand, you will find an extra 470 ohm resistor just for
that purpose packaged with the kit.

73,
