[Elecraft] KPA1500 loose 3K Ohm/3 watt resistor

[rocketnj at gmail.com]

Hi All

 

Went to move the amp today and heard something loose in the PA deck on the
KPA1500. I removed the bottom cover to find a 3 K Ohm, 3 watt resistor
laying loose to the side of the PA board. There is indication that the
resistor has been heated. Checking the resistor with my Fluke 77 shows it is
still within tolerance.

Any ideas where this goes on the board? (PA/Filter/other)?

 

I've looked at the boards and cannot see where it came off. I also looked at
the pictures Elecraft submitted to the FCC and they do not show it.

 

Here's a link of a picture of the resistor.

Hoping someone can answer this in case Elecraft is off tomorrow for MLK Jr.
Holiday.
