Yes, spec is 2,100 to 2,700 ohms(2.1K to 2.7K, K=1,000) Some autoranging multimeters will show a smaller decimal number, like 2.7 and have a "k" on the display to denote a reading in the thousandths. What type of meter are you using? An autorange meter will only have one position selection to measure resistance, while non auto ones will have several positions to measure, for example- 20, 200, 2000. You would select the 2000 range, since that is closest to what you are measuring. On some meters if its not set right, it may show a number with the wrong decimal place. Thats why i mentioned if your reading was an accurate decimal place, instead of 103 ohms, it could be 1,032 ohms. Easiest way to check is to get a regular resistor of known value, and measure it, to see how the meter reads it. Also, dying meter batteries will cause inaccurate readings as well.
