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), came with the resistor "kit" which I installed. Arrival date was early July 2011. It was the kit version, not factory assembled. In any event, whether or not yours comes with the gain mod kit, it's simply a single resistor (13k, 1/8 W) that replaces R8 on the board. I used the SMD version so I have the through-hole resistor still available (kit came with both), which you're welcome to if you can't find one. --Andrew, NV1B ..
