[Elecraft] SMT and the K3 - Nerves

[D Joyce]

Lee:  If the K3 has been back to Aptos for updates, I would expect that this 
change has already been made.  K3 Service should be able to tell you if this 
is the case.  Also I believe the mod instructions provide info on how to 
measure and confirm the value of the current resistor and whether or not a 
change is necessary.  Good Luck

You will really enjoy the P3.
