The mod simply allows more current to be drawn from an otherwise unused
pin on an otherwise unused connector while still affording protection to
the power supply within the radio (protection from a short on the
connector pin).

Apologize if this question has already been asked/answered.
I have K3s #106xx, so I need the mod.
Is there any downside to making the mod (other than risk). I mean, is
there any chance of it affecting TX/RX quality, et al?
Assuming not; just checking...

Any K3S later than serial number 10787 (kit) or 10801 (factory assembled)
can power the K-Pod without further modification. The change was made on all
subsequent units.
So I'd hazard the guess that yours is "ready to roll" without any further
issues.
Yes, the K-Pod Owner's manual advises owners of older K3s or K3 rigs that
Elecraft will do the mod for them.
Optionally, you can simply power the K-Pod from the 12 VDC power connector
on the back panel of the K3. A suitable power cable is included with the
K-Pod.
