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

[Andy Durbin]

"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."

What doesn't work that used to work?  If nothing, then maybe they slipped it in there just to confuse you.   From the photo it looks as though it was cut out of whatever circuit it used to belong in.  I've heard of SMT components dropping of boards but it should be impossible for a properly installed wire ended component to fall off. ( I deliberately said wire ended rather than through hole because I still remember tag strip construction).
