Default Resistors marked 4.7 ohm K

On Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:30:33 -0000, "N Cook" put
finger to keyboard and composed:

That is 4.7 (Greek omega ) K
4.7 ohm not 4.7K, what is the function of the K , other than to confuse the
unwary?


K = +/- 10% tolerance.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor
