I am awaiting the K3EXREF mod to become available. While I have my K3 apart should I upgrade and add the K3STFNR plates to the two synthesizer boards in my K3. I've checked the archives with mixed results as to the efficacy of this mod. Any opinions out there? Thank you. R Thorpe K6CG

I found that it cleaned up some birdies, as the heavy aluminum stiffener plate does shield the board. It takes the same time to do two boards as to do one. You can get RX microphonics as well, and that can happen with both boards if you have the KRX3. I did both of mine and I'm happy I did.
