I'd think you'd do better to buy a DMM rather than sending the board to Elecraft. Spend the same $ on tools rather than services. The DMM would be useful for the rest of the kit and you'll learn a bit more. - Keith KD1E - -Original Message- > > > 3. Measuring all the ohmeter resistance

Fred, First, keep resistance readings made with an analog ohmmeter far away from IC devices. The voltages used can turn on (saturate) circuits and not only cause incorrect/misleading readings, but in some cases could damage solid state devices. Even the inexpensive DMMs will provide good reading
