[Elecraft] Question about P3

[Andrew Moore]

Maybe I spoke too soon -- since I ordered my K3 with a KXV3a, I can't say
for sure whether the resistor came with the K3 or with the KXV3a.

What I do know for a fact is that my K3 kit (s/n 5614), which I ordered at
the same time as a KXV3a, around early July 2011 (not June as I previously
thought), came with the resistor "kit" which I installed.  Arrival date was
early July 2011.  It was the kit version, not factory assembled.

In any event, whether or not yours comes with the gain mod kit, it's simply
a single resistor (13k, 1/8 W) that replaces R8 on the board.  I used the
SMD version so I have the through-hole resistor still available (kit came
with both), which you're welcome to if you can't find one.
