out of the unit, but so did another component. Its a small rectangular
part, white
BTW, the item that was banging around in my K3s sometime after I built it
was a nut with a broken piece of screw in it.
I obviously over torqued it at some point, and it eventually fell off.
No telling where THAT came from...

Actually with a marking like 3K3, it's likely a 3.3K ohms surface mount
resistor.
Possibly from a poor soldering job on the main board. It likely passed
electrical
tests, but after some mechanical torque, it likely popped off of the board.

3.3 ohm SMT resistor?

My totally uneducated guess is that it’s a surface mount capacitor. I did an
image search and found what resembles you have. That’s all I can offer. Good
luck.

Does the radio still work? If I find loose parts but the radio still
works, I consider them to be spare parts. Seriously, does it appear
to be electronic in nature ... i.e. does it have terminals or solder
points?

I figured out why it takes so much gain. Somewhere along the line, I switched
sounds cards and I was outputting to the wrong channel. Amazing that I was able
to get any transmit at all.

I just tried it with a brand-spanking new 50ohm BNC terminator. This eliminated
the cable and adapters I needed for my 50 watt dummy load.
Same result.

My knowledge is from being a windows user. In windows when running audio
type digital modes there are 3 points of adjustment. The sound card gain,
the software gain and the line in gaim. On some external sound cards there
is also a pot to adjust one the sound card, that makes 4points. And
