Hmmmm.... 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...
installed. I would think an rf board shipped in July 2011 would already
have the mod/resistor installed... according to the above link, but I
could be wrong about that. At any rate, after my K3 build in which I
worked and still works with no problems.
