I have just ordered a P3 to go with my first run K3 (sn < 300).
I am wondering if the P3 "comes with" the K3 I/O Output Buffer Mod Kit
for the K3 to enhance the IF output from the K3 (a single resistor
that goes inside the K3)?
I have asked several guys a know, but the common answer so far is, "I
Yes, the resistor does appear to come with the current P3 (at least mine
did, ordered in June 2011 or so).
It actually comes with two resistors: a surface mount one and a through-hole
one. Use whichever is easiest for you to install.

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)
H according to Elecraft's website regarding mods all new boards
since 2009 have the new resistor already installed. See link below:

My K3 kits came with the resistor but I didn't install them because...
well, I received a main rf board that a
The resistor is shipped with the KXV3 and with the P3 - those packages
do not know the serial number of your K3 - so the resistor is included
*if* it is needed. The fact that you received the resistor says nothing
about whether your K3 needs or or not.
If your K3 was ordered well after Septemb
