[Elecraft] K3: IF output buffer gain modification

13k is a standard value in the progression of 5% resistors (10, 11, 12, 
13, 15, 18, 20, etc.).  It is difficult to get 10% resistors anymore, 
and 5% tolerance is normally used.
If your local parts source does not have them, perhaps they are only 
stocking those values from the list of 10% tolerance values to save 
shelf space.
