Did a K3DSPLPF mod along with an addition of Xtal filter in KRX3.
Also did SS H/W change.

At the closing phase noticed a capacitor fallen on work table.
Went ahead with assy.after looking for a missing capacitor in
available visible areas.Gave up looking after an hour.This was
yesterday night.K3 seems to be working fine, made one CW and
one RTTY qso before going qrt.

Brought the capacitor to my work place which has an avionics
shop,confirmed that the component is indeed a capacitor,
measured the value.I am told the value is 5.6 pf.
Now where could the capacitor have fallen out of ?
It is a mystery to me.
