[Elecraft] K3 Buffer Mod

[N2TK]

 Jim,
The reason I ask about using regular resistors instead of SM resistors is
that I don't have the correct value SM resistors. If there is a degradation
in performance with film axial lead resistors I will get the SM resistors.
It is not a question of qualification of mounting SM components.

73,
N2TK, Tony

It sounds like Tony should leave the K3 as is.   Dont screw it up unless 
your qualified to make the mods.   Jim K4JAF
