Probably not.  Wayne is well aware of it and has never said the warranty
would be voided.

Unless you want to identify extremely weak signals, perhaps not.  On 160m
nearly all DX signals are weak and many were not detectable without the mod. 
I robbed junk SMD boards for the two resistors (R8/R9) but most major
suppliers carry SMD parts (e.g. Mouser, Newark, etc.)

It really doesn't matter.  The mod can be done by removing only the front
bottom cover, which is extremely easy to access anytime.
