  Joe,
you are right, sort of. There are 2 different schematics on the elecraft 
support site.

I have this:

https://ftp.elecraft.com/K3S/Manuals%20Downloads/E740323%20K3s%20Schematic%20Files.pdf

Page 46 for the KPA3A

R5=100 Ohm


You have this:

https://ftp.elecraft.com/K3/Manuals%20Downloads/K3_Schematics_Jun_2010.pdf

Page 44 for the KPA3 w/o "A"
the older PA.

R5= 3.3 Ohm

Thanks for the head up.
